Manchester City is Set to sign Bayern Munich young star as potential Kevin De Bruyne replacement if he leaves to Saudi Arabia this Summer
WHAT happened?
De Bruyne’s Manchester City contract expires in the summer of 2025, so he has been closely connected with a move to the Saudi Pro League. The eight-time Premier League winners are ready for life after his leaving even if they are not ready to let the Belgian master go from the team.

The broader picture here.
According to Christian Falk, when the playmaker departs the Etihad Manchester City sees Bayern Munich wonderkid Jamal Musiala as De Bruyne’s replacement. Considered to be a suitable substitute for a De Bruyne-sized void in Pep Guardiola’s team, the 21-year-old has been explosive since his 2020 Der Rekordmeister debut.
Were you aware of this?
Over the last season, the German star has been in contract negotiations with Bayern Munich; but, over the summer, the negotiations have ground to nothing. Manchester City’s financial situation allows a deal to be possible.
WHERE NEXT FOR MAN CITY?
The initial preference of the Premier League winners is to keep De Bruyne at the team; they are not ready to provide him a long contract extension, so they will not be a hindrance should the Belgian choose to quit the team.
