Notably, De Bruyne’s contract expires in the summer of 2025 and is valued at $75 million as per Transfermarkt. Al Nassr might need to break the bank to acquire his services. Additionally, City is also open to selling the 32-year-old. But they shouldn’t worry about finding a replacement for their magician, as Julian Alvarez will perfectly fill De Bruyne’s shoes.
Julien Alvarez is the new creativity king for Manchester City
Yesterday’s Premier League clash between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur ended in a 3-3 draw. However, it was Julian Alvarez who managed to steal the spotlight with his performance.
