As Kevin De Bruyne turns 33, rumors about his next steps at Manchester City is constantly growing.
The Belgian player with six Premier League titles at City, suggests that he might leave.
He’s open to chances, even in Saudi Arabia’s lucrative league.
“At my age, you have to be open to everything,” De Bruyne remarked, considering the financial benefits of such a move.
With De Bruyne’s possibility of leaving the club, Manchester City is looking at Mohammed Kudus to take his spot.
The star from Ghana went to West Ham United from Ajax in 2023 for £40 million.
He surprised everyone last season with his great performances.
His amazing overhead kick goal against City on the last day stood out, showing he can play well both wide and in the middle.
Liverpool, long interested in Kudus, could face stiff competition from City.

The Premier League champions are plotting a succession plan for De Bruyne, and Kudus fits the bill.
His potential move would be costly, as West Ham is unlikely to sell cheaply, potentially demanding at least double the initial fee they paid.
For Liverpool, Kudus could also serve as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, should the Egyptian star depart.
Last summer, Al-Ittihad from the Saudi Pro League tested Liverpool’s resolve with a massive £215m bid for Salah.
Although the bid was rejected, a renewed offer this summer might be considered, especially if it comes early in the transfer window.
If Salah left, Liverpool would get a lot of money to use on new players.
This money would let the team’s new coach, Arne Slot, go after important players like Kudus, making the team even stronger.
However, they would need to move quickly, as Manchester City’s interest complicates the situation.
Kudus, at just 23, presents a promising prospect for both clubs.

His ability to operate in various attacking positions makes him an attractive option for teams looking to strengthen their midfield and attack.
However, it’s unclear whether Kudus desires to leave West Ham, where he has found success.
In summary, Liverpool and Manchester City could be set for a transfer showdown over Mohammed Kudus, with both clubs seeking to bolster their squads ahead of the new season.
As City looks for De Bruyne’s successor and Liverpool braces for potential changes, the transfer market promises to be a thrilling battleground.
