Kevin De Bruyne has been heavily linked with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League, as his contract with Manchester City is set to expire in the summer of 2025. Despite his significant contributions to the team, the Premier League champions are considering a future without him.
Christian Falk has reported that Manchester City views Bayern Munich’s young talent, Jamal Musiala, as a possible successor to De Bruyne.
Musiala, 21, has impressed since his debut for Bayern in 2020 and is seen as capable of filling the creative role in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
While Manchester City’s preference is to retain De Bruyne, they are hesitant to offer him a long-term contract extension. This reluctance may lead to the club not obstructing his potential move if he chooses to leave.
The club’s financial resources put them in a strong position to secure Musiala as a replacement if necessary.
Musiala’s contract talks with Bayern Munich stalled over the summer, which could open the door for a possible transfer.
As Manchester City navigates the possibility of De Bruyne’s departure, they are actively planning for the future, potentially ushering in a new era with Musiala in their ranks.
