Kevin De Bruyne has been frequently mentioned in transfer rumors involving a potential move to the Saudi Pro League, as his contract with Manchester City is set to expire in 2025.
Although the club is keen on retaining the Belgian midfielder, they are also preparing for the possibility of his departure.
The bigger picture involves Manchester City’s interest in Jamal Musiala, a young talent from Bayern Munich, as a potential replacement for De Bruyne. Musiala,
who is 21 years old, has impressed since making his debut for Bayern in 2020 and is seen as a promising candidate to fill the gap that De Bruyne would leave in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Additionally, Musiala had been in negotiations for a new contract with Bayern Munich last season, but these talks have stalled. This situation presents an opportunity for Manchester City, who have the financial resources to pursue a deal.
While Manchester City’s primary goal is to retain De Bruyne, they are hesitant to offer him a long-term contract extension. The club is also prepared to let him leave if he chooses, especially in light of the potential signing of Musiala.
