Earlier, a bombshell news shocked Manchester City fans. British media TEAtalk released exclusive news that Manchester City midfielder De Bruyne has reached an agreement with Jeddah United on personal terms, and Jeddah United will negotiate a transfer fee with Manchester City next.

To be honest, rumors of De Bruyne's landing in Saudi Arabia have been reported by the media many times before, starting last summer. However, De Bruyne was not ready to leave Manchester City at the time, so it was not done. Kevin De Bruyne won the league title again with Manchester City last season, and rumours have been around since then. De Bruyne also expressed his willingness to leave Manchester City to join Saudi Arabia in an interview. "If I play there for two years, I'll be able to make a lot of money. I've been playing for 15 years before that, and I probably didn't make that much money. This sentence could not be clearer than De Bruyne's mentality.

He has been playing in European football for 15 years and spent nine seasons at Manchester City, during which time he won the club honours Grand Slam. 6 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League, 5 League Cups, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 2 Community Shields, 2 FA Cups, 1 Club World Cup, and won multiple titles in the first division and Bundesliga. Therefore, for the 33-year-old De Bruyne, leaving Manchester City at this time is not too difficult to decide. If you have a lucrative contract in front of you, there's no need to hesitate.

It's hard to imagine what the future holds for Manchester City without Kevin De Bruyne, but that day will come sooner or later for City and Pep Guardiola. Over the past nine years, Kevin De Bruyne has been the absolute ace of Manchester City's midfield and the pivot of the team's attack, scoring 102 goals and providing 168 assists in 382 games, becoming the team's all-time assist leader. But in recent years, De Bruyne has aged, injuries have increased, and his presence has begun to decline, which is an inescapable fact. So, Pep Guardiola has to think about the topic of succession.

If De Bruyne can still leave a large transfer fee at this time, this can be considered a good ending. Also according to TEAtalk, Pep Guardiola has several replacements, namely Joao Neves, Xavi Simons, Wirtz and Musiala, but it will be difficult for these players to join this summer.

Joao Neves has become a target for the big Paris, with the two clubs discussing a transfer fee. And Joao Neves is also not capable of succeeding De Bruyne; Xavi Simons is currently a target for Bayern, and Musiala is the heart of Bayern's midfield, which is less likely. Wirtz is the most suitable option and the most popular among Manchester City fans, but the player has no plans to leave this summer window.

Earlier, the United Kingdom Mirror reported that Pep Guardiola is weighing their options as Jeddah United have offered De Bruyne a lucrative contract, with Eze a player he is very interested in, but Tottenham are also interested in the player. However, if City insist on their pursuit of Eze, then Eze should choose Manchester City. Eze currently has three years left on his current contract with Crystal Palace, with a £60 million release clause and add-ons to his contract.

After Ollise's departure, Crystal Palace will certainly not want to let Eze go again. Last season, Eze scored 11 goals and provided six assists in 31 appearances for Crystal Palace, and was named in England's squad for the European Championships. But does Eze have what it takes to succeed De Bruyne? This is obviously not favored by Manchester City fans either.

In short, it is not an easy task to find a successor for De Bruyne, just as Barcelona have hoped to find a successor for "Habaib" before, which is always unavoidable.
