Kevin de Bruyne's departure from Manchester City signals a broader rebuild for the team, especially considering the uncertainty surrounding other stars like Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan. Shay Given notes that the club has already invested 180 million in new players but their adaptation has been slow. The team struggles with physicality in midfield, prompting potential significant changes. The current squad's performance has led to questions about its structure, leaving fans concerned about what the future holds for the once dominant force in English football.
They spent a lot in January, and Omar Marmoush has been the stand-out signing from the players they brought in, but the others have struggled a bit.
City's lack of physicality in midfield has been a key factor in their decline and it is the area of the team that could see the biggest overhaul.
De Bruyne says he is going, there are doubts over Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan's future and Jack Grealish has not really had a look in.
It feels like there are going to be big changes right through the squad; City fans must have watched Sunday’s Manchester derby and been thinking they have no idea what the future will look like.
