An era is coming to an end. It’s no coincidence that Manchester City have struggled this season. With Rodri out and a Kevin de Bruyne, who has alternated between injury and lack of fit, Pep has been without his two big managers in what has become a change of throne in the Premier League. Guardiola said last week how extremely important to him and City De Bruyne has been, but in the summer this football-love affair will come to an end.
Before Haaland negotiated a monster salary in 2024, Kevin de Bruyne was at the top of the salary hierarchy in the Premier League. Fully deserved. After the Manchester derby on Sunday, United captain Bruno Fernandes stated that without the Belgian, City would not have achieved the same success.
De Bruyne himself was ready to stay at City, but said last week that the summer is over. The 33-year-old is linked to the “Ronaldo League”, something he himself has opened up about, but Beckham and the gang will put a stop to this.
With the Lionel Messi signing, David Beckham showed what he had promised: To bring the football circus’s biggest stars to the fledgling club Inter Miami. Three Barcelona buddies of Messi followed their manager to the club, after which there is no doubt that Beckham and the Inter Miami owners have the network, the financial creativity or the attraction to persuade more superstars. Now, the MLS club has positioned itself for the Premier League’s second highest-paid player.
According to ESPN, Inter Miami has De Bruyne on a negotiating list, which gives the club exclusive rights in MLS to negotiate with the Manchester City star.
