Kevin De Bruyne Fails to Lure £80M Teammate to Manchester City as Star Chooses Rival Club
Manchester City fans may feel a sense of disappointment after Kevin De Bruyne revealed that his attempts to convince his international teammate to join him at the Etihad have been unsuccessful. Despite De Bruyne’s personal efforts to sway the £80 million-rated star, the player has opted for a move to another major European club ahead of the summer transfer window.
De Bruyne’s Efforts Fall Short
In an exclusive interview, the City playmaker admitted he did everything possible to bring his countryman into Pep Guardiola’s squad but ultimately respected his decision to take a different path.
“I tried my best to get him to join City, but he made his choice. While I think he would have been a great fit for our system, I understand why he decided to go elsewhere. It’s a huge opportunity for him,” De Bruyne stated.
While he did not mention the player’s name directly, sources close to the situation suggest the footballer in question is a Belgian international who has been a sought-after target for several top clubs in recent months.
A Blow for City’s Transfer Plans?
With personal terms reportedly agreed, City must now shift their focus to alternative options in the market. Guardiola had identified the versatile attacker as an ideal addition to his squad, but the player’s decision leaves the club exploring other reinforcements.
As City looks to maintain their dominance in domestic and European competitions, missing out on this transfer could prove to be a significant setback. With the summer window fast approaching, all eyes will be on City’s next move as they aim to strengthen their squad for the ch
