Manchester City is busy trying to find a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to erase the traces of De Bruyne by recruiting a good playmaker.
Among the list of recruits, 「Leverkusen Ace」 Florian Birz is emerging as the top priority. If Birtz's recruitment fails, he is expected to target Charles de Ketelar as the second priority. As Birz is attracting attention from leading big clubs, it may be a good judgment to turn to recruiting De Ketelar early.
The British cutoff side reported on the 5th that if Florian Birtz's transfer falls through, Manchester City see Atalanta midfielder Charles de Ketelar as a potential successor to Derbroughner.
Manchester City's No. 1 recruitment for midfielders is still Bayer Leverkusen's star player Birtz. However, he is expected to put De Ketelar on the list in case he fails to recruit Birz.
De Ketelar is considered a player who can play on both the right wing and midfielder. He is also considered a player who can prove his skills in the English Premier League (EPL).
Liverpool of the same EPL is also expected to join the competition to sign De Ketelar in the summer transfer market. This is because Liverpool manager Arne Slot is interested in reinforcing midfielders.
De Ketelar played in 43 official matches in Italy's Serie A this season, scoring 11 goals and 11 assists. He is showing off his aggressive ability by playing an attacking midfielder and a center forward.

Earlier, Kevin De Bruyne said he was leaving the Premier League team after this season.
De Bruyne is considered one of the best players in Premier League history. He played for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City for a long time and contributed to six league championships. He is a player who can be called one of the best players in club history.
Manchester City is unlikely to find a player who shows creative passes and abilities in the offensive camp as much as Dubrowner. The recruitment of Birz, who is called the only replacement, is in the middle of a mountain.
The team that entered the recruitment competition is prominent. There is news that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, as well as Manchester City, are aiming.
Manchester City is a club that desperately wanted to recruit Birtz in the transfer market last winter. Munich is likewise interested in recruiting Birtz. It is reported that the club is organizing existing players and considering some salary cuts to raise funds for the transfer. Munich is looking forward to 2026 if it misses the opportunity to recruit Birz within this year.
Manchester City has no choice but to look for a new replacement as news has been heard that Birz will remain with Leverkusen, the existing team.
De Ketelar isn't as eye-catching as Birz. It may be better for Manchester City to quickly give up Birtz and make all-out efforts to recruit De Ketelar. De Ketelar can also play as a playmaker and is an offensive resource with scoring ability. At the young age of 24, he is considered to be a player who can take responsibility for the future of Manchester City's midfield.
