“Manchester City is looking for an ideal replacement in case Kevin De Bruyne leaves,” the sports media “Goldcom” reported on the 27th (Korea Standard Time).
For a long time, Manchester City’s midfield commander was The Bruyne. He played as a key midfielder under Pep Guardiola based on his wide field of view, outstanding playmaking ability, and strong shooting. The Bruyne has been the reigning Help King for four times in the EPL. It was The Bruyne who led Manchester City’s Domestic Travel in the 2017/18 season and The Travel in the 2022/23 season.
Once an irreplaceable resource for Manchester City, The Bruyne is now in his mid-30s. Last season, The Bruyne played the entire first half due to a hamstring injury, raising concerns about his physical condition. His contract with Manchester City will expire next summer, so he has to prepare for the post-The Bruyne era.
This summer, De Bruyne has been linked with Saudi Arabia, but his transfer possibility has been lowered as Guardiola declared De Bruyne would stay. However, De Bruyne could break up with Manchester City next summer.
If The Bruyne leaves, Manchester City will consider Mussiala as its successor. Mussiala, who is regarded as Germany’s best talent, is Munich’s present and future. He is capable of dribbling well and can play both offensive and lateral midfielders. Last season, Mussiala had 12 goals and eight assists in 38 official matches,안전놀이터
Munich’s contract with Musiala expires next summer. According to German Bild reporter Christian Polk, Manchester City considers Musiala to be its successor if The Bruyne leaves. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City will succeed in recruiting Musiala.
