De Bruyne is about to leave the team, who is his successor at Manchester City?

Reporter Han Bing reported that Guardiola did not fulfill his pre-match promise and used the FA Cup to "make it" for De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder is having a hot talk with Naples, but he said there is still a possibility of representing Manchester City in the Club World Cup. Guardiola knew very well that De Bruyne would leave in the end, and the Belgians could not get a perfect farewell before leaving. From now on, Guardiola will put the search for a successor to the expedited agenda and fill the vacancy left by the Belgian superstars as soon as possible.

Wilz, Big Reindes, Olmo, Gibbs White, and Tiller Mans, there are quite a few candidates, but it is still unknown who will take over the jersey left by De Bruyne.

180 million pounds to buy "double insurance"?

De Bruyne is the second offensive core under Guardiola's rule, who scored 250 goals, and the first? Of course it's Messi. The Blue Moon Army is too dependent on De Bruyne. In addition to De Bruyne's super ability to organize offenses and participate in goals, Manchester City also has to rely on his luck to escape the danger in many games. De Bruyne and Rodri are the two set-up stars in Manchester City's front and back courts. In this sense, it is extremely difficult for Manchester City to find De Bruyne's ideal successor.

British media revealed that Manchester City is preparing to spend 180 million pounds to win the No. 10 position "double insurance" before the Club World Cup. Werz has 16 goals and 15 assists in 45 games this season, with excellent data. The German international with a net worth of up to 140 million euros is bid by Bayern, and Leverkusen has a sky-high price of 150 million euros. As for Reindez, Milan's attitude is also clear: the transfer fee will not be lower than Kaka's 67 million euros that year. The salary space freed by De Bruyne's departure is enough for Manchester City to achieve "one for two" on personal terms.

Although the Wilz family visited the Manchester City base on May 13, the two sides also held direct negotiations. But Wiltz's father has the right to speak for his son's football affairs, and he prefers Bayern so that his son can sign Adidas at the same time. Wiltz himself tends to stay in Leverkusen for another year and seek a transfer after the World Cup next summer. But Leverkusen has basically finalized his successor, and the final decision is still in his own hands. Obviously, Bayern has the upper hand at the moment, and Liverpool has also met with the Wiltz family. All of this forced Manchester City to consider listing Barcelona's Ormo as "Program B".

Milan's Big Reindes is only 50 million yuan, but it is indeed a suitable choice to hand over 15 goals and 5 assists in 52 games in the season. The 26-year-old Indonesian Dutch midfielder is the main bargaining chip to fill the fiscal deficit after Milan's failed season. Italian media claimed that Manchester City's first offer is 55 million euros, with a maximum price of no more than 70 million. But Milan wants to sell 75 million to 80 million euros, exceeding Kaka's highest team-hit price (67 million). Compared to Werz, Big Reindez is more likely to make a deal.

Premier League "familiar" candidate

British media suggested that if Guardiola cannot introduce the above "double insurance", it is also a reasonable choice to consider being more familiar with the offensive midfielder of the Premier League. Aston Villa is a little older, 28-year-old Tiller Mans, but has rich experience in up to seven Premier League seasons. The Belgian midfielder became famous earlier and played at the No. 10 position in Emery's Aston Villa.

Defensive end Tillermans' steal success rate this season has reached 68.7%, one-on-one confrontation success rate is 58.2%, and top-scoring success rate is 57%, and he averages at least 5 wins per game. He is already the core figure of Villa who sets the tone with and without the ball. Tiller Mans, who is both offensive and defensive, can play No. 10, No. 8 or No. 6, is the perfect "replacer" for De Bruyne and is more in line with Manchester City's passing and controlling football style. If Villa misses the Champions League next season, it is likely to be sold to Tiller Mans to cash out. What's more, Tillermans, Marmush, Gallish, and rookie Oscar Bob, who is preparing to support Guardiola, belongs to the same agency, and there are no obstacles to transfer operations.

Another alternative is new England international Gibbs White, who is a 22-year-old Jamaican midfielder with an age advantage. Three years ago, Nottingham Forest purchased it for a team record of 25 million pounds, and another 17 million pounds of floating transfer fees. This season, he has 6 goals and 10 assists. Not only has he been the captain of Nottingham Forest, he has also won the U17 World Youth Championship (2017) and the U21 European Youth Championship (2023) for England. He is an ideal candidate for Manchester City to increase his presence in the Three Lions. Gibbs White's net worth has surged 5 times from 10 million euros when he joined three years ago to 50 million euros. If Manchester City wants to buy it, they must be prepared for a high premium.
