Male City are facing the difficult task of replacing Kevin De Bruyne this summer, and they have a few names on their shortlist of possible options– and one of those is reported to be a rather surprising candidate.A couple of weeks ago, De
Bruyne announced that he would be ending his time as a Guy City when his contract runs out at the conclusion of the existing season. While it remains to be seen where he ends up, it will also be intriguing to follow the soon-to-be-dethroned Premier League champs’pursuit of his replacement.Florian Wirtz is a player that has actually brought in strong interest in recent
weeks, today, it looks like Guy City could look closer to home in their efforts to change De Bruyne, who remained in great type during the 5-2 triumph over Crystal Palace on Saturday.Man City considering James Maddison as De Bruyne successor![]()
BRIGHTON, ENGLAND– OCTOBER 06: James Maddison of Tottenham Hotspur looks on throughout the Premier League match in between Brighton & Hove Albion FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC at Amex Stadium on October 06, 2024 in Brighton, England.(Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images)According to Fichajes, Male City have taken an interest in James Maddison, and they are reported to be prepared to pay ₤ 60m to bring him to the Etihad this summer.Curiously, Tottenham are thought to be open to selling the England global, so an offer might be done during the summer transfer window. Nevertheless, it would be not a surprise to see Male City think about other choices initially, such as Wirtz.Maddison has blown hot and cold since he moved to Tottenham in the summer season of 2023, but an overall of 11 objectives and 9 assists across all competitions this season promotes itself. It would be a blow for the North London club to lose their most reliable playmaker, even if he has actually had lots of battles of late.
