Shocking evaluations poured in for the best midfielder representing the English Premier League (EPL).
Britain's Manchester Evening News reported on the 23rd (Korea time) that `Kevin Derbroughner's decision on the future of Manchester City was made.'
De Bruyne is considered one of the best midfielders of all time in the English Premier League (EPL). Born in 1991, even though he is now quite old, he is still considered to be at his best on the field. Since moving to Manchester City in 2015, he has been a key player, and the club has also achieved tremendous achievements with Derbroughner, including six EPL wins, two FA Cup wins, five League Cup wins and one European Champions League victory. With his consistent performance, he ranked second (118) in EPL history.
Even Derbroughner couldn't go against all the time. Dubrowner, who has had repeated injury problems since the 2022-2023 season, has missed many games this season due to injuries. Manchester City also considered renewing its contract when the injury did not recover easily.

It was a double-browner heading into the twilight years, but there were still clubs who wanted him. In the transfer market last summer, he extended his strong courtship in Saudi Arabia. At the time, De Bruyne said of the possibility of a transfer to Saudi Arabia "I think I can make a lot of money if I play for Saudi for two years. I played football for 15 years before that and maybe I haven't reached that amount yet. You have to think about what that means", sparking the possibility of a transfer.
However, he chose to stay last summer. The reason was family. As a result of a family meeting, it was reported that the transfer to Saudi Arabia could not be accepted due to children's educational problems. It's a huge decision considering the size of the amount that Derbroughner rejected. Dubrowner was offered a whopping £1 million a week (about 1.9 billion won) and a three-year salary of £156 million (about 290 billion won) by Saudi Arabia, but chose to stay in Manchester City instead of moving to Saudi Arabia.
However, the frequent injuries and disappointing performance of Derbroughner this season are repeated, and speculation is growing again that Derbroughner will leave the team after the end of the season. Rumors of a transfer are steadily emerging from Saudi Arabia, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Major League Soccer in the United States, which have previously shown interest. For Manchester City, it is inevitable to think about whether to renew the contract with Derbroughner until the last minute, as the team is about to reorganize after this season.

In this situation, evaluation has emerged on what decision Derbroughner and Manchester City should make in the future over the situation of Derbroughner, who is about to expire after this season.
Simon Bykovsky, senior reporter for Manchester Evening News, said, `It will be difficult for fans to say goodbye to Derbroughner, but honestly, it has been difficult to see him this season.'We have to renew our contract on a fairly reduced basis. When you're on the field, you seem to be playing a losing game. Man City should not be caught simply for sentimental reasons, he firmly drew the line.
Joe Bray, a reporter exclusively for Manchester City, would have said a one-year contract was reasonable at the start of the season. However, given how this season is going, it might be better to thank him and leave each other before his career is tainted. He said it could be better for both the club and the players to leave the team.

Meanwhile, it is known that De Bruyne wants to renew his contract with Manchester City even at the risk of a wage cut. Team talk in England says: 'Derbrowner can stay at Manchester City until next season. He wants to play in the U.S.-North Korea Nuld Cup in 2026, and judged that he is more likely to be selected when he plays for the EPL than for transfers to the U.S. or Saudi Arabia. 'The decision to stay means accepting 400,000 pounds (about 730 million won) of cuts per week'
