So, I&#39;m going to go to the point and announce that it will be my last months as a Manchester City player. Nothing is easy to write, but as footballers, we all know that this day will come. This day has happened, and you deserve to hear it from my mouth first. Football led me to all of you, and to this city. Continue my dream, without knowing that this period was going to change my life. This city. This club. These people &#8230; gave me everything. I had no choice but to restore everything! And guess what, we have won everything \u201d<\/em>. At the end of last week, Kevin de Bruyne announced his departure from Manchester City at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"adWrapper adWrapper--m\">\n            <span>The continuation after this advertisement<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><iframe data-raw-src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimedia.com\/deliver\/generic\/iframe\/mdtk\/01499698\/zone\/1\/showtitle\/1\/src\/xpqmxxf\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Vid\u00e9o - Manchester City : le grand favori de Pep Guardiola pour remplacer Kevin De Bruyne\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" style=\"z-index:1;\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The end of an era on the side of the Etihad Stadium, of course, which will therefore have finally evolved for 10 seasons with the Mancunian club, being one of the main craftsmen of the total domination of its team on the national scene. A real Cityzens legend therefore, with 414 games played in total, for 106 goals and 174 assists, for 6 Premier League titles, a Champions League and many individual distinctions. Inevitably, it will be necessary to replace it and it will not be easy, while City is about to start a new cycle with a revolution in the workforce in the coming months.<\/p>\n<h3>A sure value of the Premier League<\/h3>\n<p>Several names have already come out in recent days as potential Belgian replacements. Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen) and Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) have been mentioned by the English media in recent days.

Pep Guardiola is particularly a fan of the player, who has a release clause of 100 million pounds, or around 116 million euros. A substantial amount for the player who had cost 42 million euros in January 2022, and that Manchester City is a priori not ready to put on the table for the moment.
