In a search for Kevin De Bruin alternatives, Manchester City is reportedly set to “move” their moves to sign talented midfielders who should be OK with personal terms.
Man City is looking for a top finish in the season
In a season that once ended on the course without qualifying for the Champions League, Manchester City was able to finish the current campaign second highest. Their crowns were taken away from them for the first time in four seasons by the dominant Liverpool side, but citizens may be plenty to celebrate – in the context of their struggle.
With Rodri’s lack of much of the campaign, the back four was recognized at various stages, and without the aging midfield retreat, Pep Guardiola dragged his side into a seven-game unbeaten run to move within the distance of Champions League qualification. Also, in the FA Cup final, the second-place finish with a celebrating trophy represents a rather routine campaign on paper compared to how the chaotic ones sometimes did.
Guardiola took the time to praise De Bruin, especially after City won an unbeaten run against the Wolves and told reporters. “His contribution is huge. There are players like Sergio (Aguero) like people.
“It’s not just titles and numbers, it’s love, love and passion. It’s been a year here and it’s been a year and it helped us to win absolutely everything.

Man City is set to “advance” with £100 million Gibbs White
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City will proceed with a contract to sign Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs White this summer.
As it could be one of the biggest deals of the summer, the personal terms between Gibbswhite and City are not expected to become an issue with the Manchester Club, which is tasked with negotiating with people on the city’s ground in the coming months.
Gibbswhite, the heart of the recent rise of the forest, likely to end in some form of European football, has earned plenty of praise from the manager of Nuno Espirito Santo during his responsibilities.
The forest boss told reporters last season: “Morgan is a very special player for us. It’s very important, talented, and the work rate on the pitch, but it’s an effort by the boys to allow Morgan to happen behind the scenes, which is very important.”
