Kevin De Bruyne among four Potential departures in Man City’s summer shuffle
Kevin De Bruyne, a cornerstone of Manchester City’s recent success, may be heading for an exit this summer.
The Belgian playmaker, who has been pivotal in City’s record-breaking four consecutive Premier League titles, is reportedly tempted by lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League.
At nearly 33, De Bruyne is contemplating a move after nine years of dazzling performances and overcoming a serious hamstring injury last season.
De Bruyne’s potential departure marks a significant moment for City, who are also likely to lose goalkeeper Ederson.
The Brazilian shot-stopper, a fixture at the Etihad for seven years, has expressed interest in a move to Saudi Arabia.
With Stefan Ortega extending his contract and showing reliability in goal, Ederson’s exit might be more manageable for City.
Adding to Pep Guardiola’s challenges, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva are also rumored to be on the move.
Grealish, despite his key role in City’s treble-winning season, struggled with form and injuries last year, and new signing Jeremy Doku’s emergence has further complicated his position.
City’s investment of £100m in Grealish may only fetch half in return, yet an offer around £50m could see him leave.
Bernardo Silva’s annual summer saga continues, with lifestyle factors fueling his desire for a change.
Despite his invaluable contributions, a £50m release clause and interest from Barcelona and PSG make his departure a real possibility.
As City prepares for another summer of transformation, Guardiola faces the dual task of maintaining their dominance while potentially reshaping the squad without some of its biggest stars.
