Manchester City will be hoping to keep two of their key players at the club.
Given their importance to Pep Guardiola’s squad, the champions will be hoping to keep Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva. They are both two of Manchester City’s key players and that was on full display throughout the 23/24 season. Without their valuable contributions, it is doubtful that Pep Guardiola’s side would’ve created history and clinched a fourth consecutive Premier League title this season. They also are key leaders on and off the pitch for Manchester City. If they both did depart this summer it would leave a huge void in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
The early signs heading into the transfer window appear to be that De Bruyne and Bernardo may both remain at Manchester City. While that could change it would be a massive boost for the champions if they could keep two of their most important players for next season.
