Manchester City is set to lose key players De Bruyne and Gundogan amid a challenging season.

Manchester City is navigating a tumultuous 2024-2025 season, marked by significant changes and challenges. The club is poised to lose two pivotal players, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan, both of whom played crucial roles in their Champions League triumph during the 2022-23 season. De Bruyne, now 33, and Gundogan, aged 34, have seen their contributions wane due to persistent injuries and a decline in performance. With their contracts expiring at the season`s end, De Bruyne is rumored to be considering a move to MLS expansion team San Diego FC, while Gundogan may contemplate retirement or a coaching position under Pep Guardiola.

Currently, Manchester City sits sixth in the Premier League standings, accumulating 34 points from 20 matches, with a record of 10 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses. The team has netted 36 goals while conceding 27, reflecting a challenging campaign.

In addition to the potential departures of De Bruyne and Gundogan, full-back Kyle Walker is also on the verge of leaving the club. AC Milan has expressed interest in acquiring Walker through a loan deal that includes an option to buy for approximately €5 million in the summer. Walker`s role has diminished this season, starting only nine of the 15 Premier League matches he has played and making just two appearances in the Champions League. Coach Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Walker has requested a transfer this month, further indicating the shifting dynamics within the squad.
