Manchester City has been constantly talking about the possibility of a break-up by De Bruyne recently. With his contract with Manchester City expiring after this season, there has been no news of the renewal of his contract yet. For Manchester City, it is inevitable to worry about a long-term contract with Der Bruyne, who has been injured this season along with poor performance. He has also begun to show interest in recruiting replacements.
Initially mentioned as a substitute for De Bruyne was Leverkusen midfielder Florian Birtz. However, there has been a recent speculation that Birtz will stay at Leverkusen for another year and news that Bayern Munich is likely to be transferred. Manchester City looked for another candidate and paid attention to Simmons because it would be difficult to fill the void of Derbroughner if Birtz's recruitment goes wrong.
Simmons, a member of RB Leipzig, is a player who has already proved his presence in the Bundesliga. Despite his young age, he showed his mature skills and has strengths in various areas such as passes, dribbles, and shooting. He steadily grew into a league-leading winger with 22 goals and 11 assists in PSV Eindhoven in the 2022-2023 season and 10 goals and 13 assists in Leipzig in the 2023-2024 season.

He left Paris Saint-Germain for Leipzig in the transfer market last winter, but several big clubs are already paying attention again. Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal are reportedly considering signing Simmons. However, Manchester City's participation in the war could change the pattern of recruitment.
Pichahes said 'Pep Guardiola is determined to bring Simmons at all costs. I know that a creative midfielder is important for his game. Derbroughner did this, and Simmons is considered his ideal replacement, he explained.
Manchester City is preparing for a large recruitment with plans to release Derbroughner. Attention is also focusing on whether Simmons' recruitment will form a changed Manchester City midfield next season.
