Manchester City, which is breaking up with Kevin the Bruyne, took a replacement.

On the 6th (Korea time), Fabrizio Romano, dubbed the highest peak of the transfer market, said on his podcast 『Herewego" Man City selected Leverkusen midfielder Florian Birtz as the ideal replacement for The Bruyne" The estimated transfer fee amounts to 100 million euros.

Manchester City said on its website on the 4th that it will say goodbye to The Bruyne as his contract with The Bruyne expired this summer. "It will mark the end of a spectacular decade with our club."




The Bruyne also said on his SNS, "'It will be my last few months as a Manchester City player' 'This city, the club, the fans gave me everything, this will always be home to me. Every story has an end, but this story has been the best chapter of my life.'

Belgium native De Bruyne moved to Manchester City from Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga in August 2015. The transfer fee was 55 million pounds (about 104 billion won). Manchester City's highest transfer fee was recorded at the time.

The jubilation was great. After Pep Guardiola was appointed a year later, he had his best share price. He has won the English Premier League six times. Last season, he won his first four consecutive games.

In the 2022-2023 season, he topped the European Champions League (UCL) and won the EPL and FA Cup, and built a golden tower of treble (three gold medals). The Bruyne presented a total of 19 Torpies to Manchester City, including the League Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

But he also couldn't go against the years. Injuries, including hamstrings (back muscles of the thighs), were repeated. He has played in 20 games in the EPL this season, with only 12 starts. In all competitions, he played in 31 games, scoring only four goals and seven assists.

Guardiola said in an interview, `The decision (to not renew the contract with Der Bruyne) was made by the club. It was never easy to tell him that we decided not to be together."




The club then gave everything to Derbroughner, and he gave everything to us, too. It was a really special time looking back on the years. The good moments and difficult times will all be unforgettable."

The Bruyne will become a free agent at the end of this season. Attention is focused on the next destination. Until now, the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Saudi Arabian League have been mentioned as new stages of his activities.

In the case of MLS, San Diego FC showed specific interest. San Diego has the right to negotiate first. But Britain's 'BBC' said sources with knowledge of the situation said the offer has now been withdrawn and San Diego has no plans to re-recruit it.

The Bruyne is open to everything when rumors of a Saudi transfer were raised last summer"You'll make a lot of money," he said, making headlines. However, it is known that a transfer to Saudi Arabia is unlikely due to the education of their three children. There is also a possibility of moving to another league team in Europe.

Paris Saint-Germain, where Lee Kang-in is playing, Galatasaray of Turkiye and Ferberbache are interested in recruiting The Bruyne. The Breiner still has the competitive edge to play in Europe.

Man City plan to honour The Bruyne's commitment. The British Daily Mail is preparing for something surprising as the 'Man City' will see The Bruyne leave the club after 10 years. I'm planning to make a statue of him.'"

Currently, statues of legends representing the club, including Bang Sang Kompany, Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Mike Summerby, are erected in front of Etihad Stadium, Manchester City's home stadium. It is expected that The Bruyne will also be named in this row.

Birtz is one of Germany's best talents that doesn't need an explanation. He is still young, but he is considered the best midfielder in the world. He led Leverkusen to victory last season and was named Bundesliga Player of the Year. This year, he has been performing consistently.

Leverkusen is in the process of signing a new contract to catch Birz, but big clubs want him. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich want Birtz, and Manchester City is one of them. The style is different, but it is comparable to De Bruyne's successor.
