De Bruyne's 2023-24 season was marred by a hamstring injury, limiting him to just 18 league appearances. Despite this, he still managed to score four goals and provide 10 assists, playing a crucial role in City winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
According to The Mirror, De Bruyne is one of four City players who might leave the club during the summer transfer window. The report suggests that De Bruyne could be tempted by lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League.
Additionally, City goalkeeper Ederson is reportedly attracting interest from the Middle East, where veteran players are often offered substantial salaries. Ederson, who is missing the Copa America due to an eye socket injury, could be replaced by second-choice Stefan Ortega, who recently signed a new deal with the club.
If De Bruyne ends his nine-year stint at City, the club is reportedly eyeing Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala and RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo as potential replacements. Musiala, one of football's brightest talents, showcased his skills in Germany's 5-1 win over Scotland at the start of Euro 2024.
Besides De Bruyne and Ederson, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva are also rumored to be considering exits. Silva, in particular, has been frequently linked with moves to Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
