Of course, it comes at a cost when the sky blues are looking to find a replacement for one of the best midfielders of all time. – Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, who at the top was worth 150 million euros, has spent 10 years at Manchester City this summer.
His decline in form and desire for something new has meant that talks about an extension of the deal that expires in the summer have not been so important to either party. – It is still conceivable that the 33-year-old will sign a new contract, but with each passing day it is becoming less and less likely.

Manchester City are determined to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming season, focusing on the talent of Xavi Simons, midfielder for RB Leipzig. According to recent reports, Manchester Citi has already signaled willingness to send €110 million to the German club to secure his signing. With this lucrative proposal, City hope to find the successor to Kevin De Bruyne, who has been a key player for the team for years.
Xavi Simons, who has stood out in the Bundesliga for his technical ability, vision, and ability to create scoring opportunities, has caught the eye of some of the best clubs in Europe. At just 21 years old, the young midfielder has become one of the most promising talents in football, and a move to Manchester City would be a crucial step in his career.
Or as RB Leipzig have a habit of writing when they present Simons on social media! “Just an ordinary day in the life of a football genius”
Manager Pep Guardiola is determined to sign Xavi Simons at almost any cost.
Under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, City know the importance of having a creative midfielder who can control the pace of the game and make a difference in crucial moments, something De Bruyne has excelled at over the years. Simons, with his ability to connect with the strikers and distribute the ball, fits perfectly into the team’s style of play, which led City to see him as the ideal replacement for the Belgian.
Although RB Leipzig have not responded to the offer, everything indicates that Manchester City’s interest in Simons is serious. If this signing is confirmed, the young midfielder will have the opportunity to continue developing in one of the best teams in the world while taking a leading role in the midfield of the Premier League champions.
This move reflects City’s ambition to remain a strong contender in both the English league and European competitions, aiming to maintain their competitiveness even with the departure of key figures such as De Bruyne.
However, Manchester City are not alone. RB Leipzig are working on improving Xavi Simon’s contract while scouts from big clubs across Europe are watching closely.
