De Bruyne’s Efforts Fall Short as £80M Belgian Star Snubs Man City for Another Club
Manchester City fans may be disappointed after Kevin De Bruyne admitted he did everything he could to persuade his international teammate to join the Premier League champions—only for the player to choose another club in a blockbuster £80 million transfer.
De Bruyne’s Frustration Over Missed Opportunity
The City playmaker, a key figure in the club’s recent dominance, revealed in an exclusive interview that he personally urged his fellow Belgian international to consider Pep Guardiola’s project. However, despite his best efforts, the highly-rated star has decided to move elsewhere.
Speaking on the situation, De Bruyne said:
“I tried my possible best to convince him to join City, but he chose this club instead. Of course, I respect his decision, but I believe he would have been a perfect fit for our style of play. It’s a massive opportunity for him, and I understand why he made that choice.”
Who Is the Mystery Player?
While De Bruyne didn’t reveal the player’s identity, reports strongly suggest it is a fellow Belgian international—potentially Jeremy Doku’s teammate—who has been linked with a big move in recent months.
A Blow for Guardiola’s Transfer Plans?
With personal terms now agreed elsewhere, City must look for alternative targets. Guardiola had reportedly identified the £80M-rated star as an ideal addition, but with this opportunity gone, City fans will be left wondering if they’ll regret missing out.
Now, all eyes will be on where the player is heading and whether City can find an equally talented alternative before the summer transfer window closes.
