If both of them also leaves Manchester City would definitely have serious issues.    Rodri is a player who is rare of his kind. His skillsets and strength are making huge difference for his team.

Haaland is a big goal source at the same time. He just needs to improve his performance in big games and that's all. He is already a really deadly goalscorer. The team is like complete with him.

Look at his stats in the 23/24 season, it's insanely good.

De Bruyne has absolutely done everything he could in Europe so far. It is hard to describe how big contribution he has made. He has achieved a Champions League title with Manchester City as well.

I think all he has done is enough for him to just look for some changes as of his turning 33 years old at the same time. He can make lots of money by accepting a potential deal from Saudi Arabia for example.

Club must be ready if one day a key player has to leave the club and Manchester City is ready to accept De Bruyne's departure without having to retain players who already have plans to leave the club and on the other hand player regeneration must always be carried out to maintain the club's performance.
Yes, I know that Man City will not be able to get new players with the same quality of talent as De Bruyne, but Man City could get young players with more reliable talent than De Bruyne.
Money is always no guarantee, but with a large amount of money, a club can bring in professional players to replace the positions of players who are leaving.

When one day De Bruyne really has to leave Man City, as club fans we have to believe that it is a wise decision because management will definitely look for a replacement before he leaves.
The only worry is that Haaland can always perform well when working with De Bruyne and if he leaves, Haaland will definitely feel the bad impact of the key player's departure.

Every coach certainly wants brilliant achievements so that his coaching career is not in vain and every great coach shows his ability to build the club under his care. Pep Guardiola really proved it to everyone with what he said the previous season he was able to give Man City the Treble title but this season Pep was only able to give 1 Premier League trophy but I have to admit that the competition last season was very tight, plus many City players were suffered an injury that hampered the club's overall performance.
Regarding the journey that Pep will take when his contract expires, we cannot confirm it yet, but what is clear is that I really hope that Pep will leave and look for a new challenge by coaching a club that is having difficulty winning the UCL title.

That's good, and de bruyne said that he's also open for saudi move. De Bruyne could go there. But, only if Ittihad sends him a good offer and he is now open to any possibilities.

I think it's obvious. Losing one of the best talents will hurt Manchester City. It will also impact their domination in the Premier League. City can recruit a good AM to replace him, like Olmo from Leipzig. But, I think there's no guarantee Olmo will bring City to the top like de Bruyne did.
I would expect lack of creativity to happen with city. Lack of great attacking midfielder who can be as creative as him. Manchester city may be able to sign a new AM, but i think it's hard to find someone who can play as good as him.

I must emphasize that De bruyne has a very big impact to the manchester city. Also, he is having most contribution since manchester city was nothing in the EPL. Money can't guarantee city to get an attacking midfielder with the same quality as de bruyne.

I'm forced to agree with you. Some clubs would be willing to see him joining their club though. Right now, if I'm to make a suggestion for him, I would ask him not to manage a club side no more. He should go manage a country side like Brazilian national team aikce Spain already has a good coach who plays same style as he does.

These clubs mentioned are great, Juventus just brought in Thiago Motta so him swinging that way would be difficult honestly. Paris Saint Germany?  That I can't tell, let's see how Luis Enrique goes on with them first this season. I expected so much from last season but his players failed him.

He has made a good legacy in all of La Liga Competition, Bundesliga League Competition and then the Premier League Competition. I'd suggest the Italian Seria A Competition. But the perfect club for him to go would be a club that either Ac Milan and Atalanta.

I don’t know if this is charitable enough for everyone but if you look at the early season of Manchester City, you can see what happened with them after Kevin De Bruyne got injured. And as much as I have seen Pep, I know he is going to solve this problem. He is not someone who wants to rely on one player for the season.

KDB is already 33, and he also knows that he is unable to perform at the top level all the time. He is a rational being and a proper family man too. As he said earlier in an interview, he will do what he thinks is best for himself and his family. If Man City is able to form a decent deal with a Saudi club, it will be beneficial for the club financially. But I think KDB will play the whole of next season and will decide his future next summer. I think he wants to win at least one more UCL.

I mean wanting to leave makes sense for Pep, but I do not think that there is any team out there which would make him want to leave City for now. Maybe next season there could be one, and we all know that he will be at City at least for this season as well, which is fine.

But at the same time, I feel like we are talking about a scenario where it is going to be hard and tough for him if he leaves for a bad team. So he needs to figure out where he wants to go to, he was in la liga, he was in bundesliga, and he was in premier league, maybe it's time for him to go to ligue one to serie a? Those are the ones that he hasn't won anything with just yet. If he goes to PSG or some team like Juventus and bring UCL to them, it would be super awesome.

Previously, it was rumored that Kevin De Bruyne would leave Manchester City even though he still has a contract until 2025, although in the last few seasons KDB has still been a mainstay in Manchester City midfield, but Guardiola is currently starting to look for another player who is worthy enough to replace KDB in the future Manchester City squad, currently it is reported that Manchester City has tried to approach Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen and Mohammed Kudus from Westham to be plotted and anticipate the possibility of losing De Bruyne later, actually KDB still wants to play in a competitive league like the English League , but his age is certainly a consideration for Manchester City to sell him now and get some money rather than KDB leaving for free after his contract ends.

Al Ittihad and several Saudi Arabian clubs are currently competing fiercely to get KDB's signature, so this will trigger fantastic offers coming to Manchester City and also KDB, realistically of course KDB and Manchester City will only accept big offers coming to them at this time, even though KDB is quite old, Manchester City is very aware that KDB still has a very high selling value right now.
KDB has previously said that he might consider playing in the srab League because at least by playing for two years in the Arab League he will making his finances will be sufficient for him to retire in the future.

When Pep Guardiola won the Champions League trophy last season, he said in a press conference that if he didn't win the Champions League trophy that season, his entire coaching career would be in vain. How serious a team is and how seriously a manager takes his responsibilities can tell. That season he tried and his players gave him the Champions League title. Not only did they secure the Champions League title that season but also the title in every tournament they participated in. I have also heard news like you said that this manager will stay at Manchester City until next season and even if the club wants to keep him, he will not play for Manchester City. Maybe next he will target a team that has no significant achievements so far.

I think he did his job in Europe right ? He won everything that he could have won and he can actually accept that transfer and get those big money for this family. I can also see him staying but if he has a bad year , his career will go downhill quickly because no top team would want to transfer him and he will most likely end up in Serie A or MLS.

For me , KDB is one of the greatest midfielders in football history no matter what he chose to do next.

Sooner or later he is going to leave. He is already 33 years old. I don't know how much longer Guardiola would like to see him in his team. Because after a point his performance will probably start going the opposite way.

Other than that of course he is an amazing player. His creativity is surely making a big difference for the team.    But there are always good players in the transfer market. It shouldn't be impossible for them to fill his gap. Besides Manchester City are a team not relying on a specific player which is the most important thing. This would be more helpful for them to deal with his absence if he leaves in this transfer window. 

If De Bruyne leaves this summer, it will have little impact on their performance, since they have Rodri to strengthen the midfield. However, if you notice their performance the previous season when De Bruyne was unable to play, it had little impact on their games, but Manchester City still won many of their games. If De Bruyne decides to leave, Guardiola will not be worried about finding a replacement for him in the midfield. But what if Rodri and Haaland leave Manchester City? The club will perform very poorly next season.


Which more experiences do you think Guardiola should learn again? He has worked in the top three leagues, winning a major trophy in each, so I am not sure what kind of experience you are referring to. Guardiola's contract with Manchester City expires at the end of next season, and if he fails to extend it, I don't think he will go to another league, but he may agree to be the head coach of the Spanish national team. Just accept that you are tired of seeing Guardiola in the Premier League since he has prevented other teams from winning the league title. 

Pep Guardiola has spent much of his career coaching big and strong teams so it is not surprising that he has easily won the championship trophy so far, in the last few years he has spent time at Manchester City so boredom will arise which might make him reluctant to continuing his career at Manchester City later, Guardiola has won all the championship trophies in the English League so far as well as the Champions League so I don't think he will have a strong reason to continue staying at Manchester City in the future, currently Guardiola still has a successful career long in training but coaching the Spanish national team doesn't seem like something that might be an option in the near future.

Guardiola has achieved success in 3 different leagues so far so he only needs to conquer 2 more leagues to become the most successful coach in the top 5 European leagues in the future, I personally also hope that at his current age he will want to coach another club in the Italian league or also Ligue 1 later, so far he may not be as good as other coaches who are able to build a team without strong finances, but every time he comes to a club of course the club will be guaranteed to get a championship trophy.

From the image you posted, the probability of him leaving Manchester City dropped after the first news, but we cannot use that to conclude or judge his movement because Kevin De Bruyne has already achieved greatness in Manchester City, he was recognized worldwide as a great creative midfielder under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, and it has helped his football career since many teams are looking for a way to sign him.

If Kevin De Bruyne leaves Manchester City now, it will have a strong effect on the team's performance because the team depends on him especially their striker Haaland who only plays well when he is in their squad. I know that with time, the team will adapt to playing without him, but they will not balance in the coming season he leaves in this summer transfer period.

Pep is also a human being, not a robot. He also definitely feels tired and bored, he doesn't belong to Manchester City completely, one day he will definitely leave, indeed as a coach he has become the best manager, but a coach doesn't always stay at one club, he definitely has the desire to move. to another club so that he can have a lot of experience like other great coaches, during his career he has only experienced coaching clubs Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and finally Manchester City and he should still have a lot to learn.

I really fully support Pep to move to another league. I don't like seeing him at Man City all the time because he makes the English League like the Farmers' League because Man City always wins the EPL title with that coach

Al-Ittihad has been interested in signing Kevin De Bruyne recently.

What do you think about Manchester City in case he leaves this summer?    Would you expect them to have bigger problems on creativity? Honestly they have such an amazing squad that I don't feel like they will lose a lot of power. De Bruyne's absence would be felt for sure but I think Guardiola would find a way to balance the team. He is a smart guy. They have lots of money to spend on another great player also to fill De Bruyne's place at the same time.

Pep Guardiola is a very intelligent coach, and we all know that if not for Pep Guardiola, Manchester City wouldn’t really have achieved things that they have been able to achieve. I know Manchester City has quality players, but some of them are signed and built by Pep Guardiola, and even if a club has quality players without an experienced coach, then things won’t really be going well for the club.

To be honest, if Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City, then I will say they won’t really be strong like before, things will change in the club, and even if they will be back to form, it’s going to take a little bit of time because the players are already used to Pep Guardiola and his style of play, so trying to get a new coach is really going to affect them. Immediately after Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City, I expect everything to destabilize for Manchester City.

A coach like Guardiola is a what class coach, a coach like Zidane is a what class coach, a coach like Ancelotti is a world class coach. You cannot approach this coaches, when you don't have the financial strength to buy any player that they request that you should get for them. You will not approach this coaches if you are not able to give them the right to sign whatever players and take decisions they like. They have their standards and any team that is willing to go for them should also know what they want and make it available for them.

Even if Guardiola has not made it known to anyone about his next moves, it is certain that he will not remain in Manchester City for so long. A conquered there so he needs to expand this horizon. Might not be this season or next season though, but he will leave

Yes, it is true that Pep Guardiolla has confirmed that he will leave Man City in the next summer, regardless of whether Man ICty still wants him to stay or not. Pep has been with Man City since 2016, which is quite a long time for him. And his contract is guaranteed to end in 2025. At least he has brought Man City to several prestigious achievements so far, both UCL, 6x EPL and others.

So it will definitely be quite difficult for Man City to find a replacement for him if he really arrives next season. However, because he confirmed it long ago, even this season, Man City certainly already has various plans in anticipation or other plans if he really leaves.

And because his contract will expire next season in 2025, it is very likely that Guardiolla will not extend it, for now that is what he confirmed to the media. It's just that, we won't know whether someone will change or not in the future. What is certain is that Man City still has high hopes for him at the club.

Guardiola is a very smart man and doesn’t want his reputation destroyed that’s why he knows the kind of team he joins. Firstly he considers the financial status of the team, he prefers a team that is financially stable that have money to spend in order to transform them. He has certain qualities he needs in a player and only sign players that possess those qualities. He is not after the performance of the team before he joins he likes building the team all over even if it means he will have to do away with the team best players if they don’t suit his style of play. It is uncertain which team he will join next but it’s obvious he that he will soon leave Manchester City.
