Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is considering extending his stay at the Etihad beyond the end of this season, despite interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer.
The Belgian playmaker, whose contract expires in the summer, remains a crucial figure for Pep Guardiola’s side and is reportedly keen on staying in Europe to maintain his elite level ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
De Bruyne’s potential suitors include San Diego FC, who are set to debut in MLS next year, and several Saudi Pro League giants willing to offer lucrative contracts.
However, sources close to the player suggest he remains committed to competing at the highest level.
Speaking about his future, De Bruyne emphasised his desire to make the right decision for his career.
“I feel good at City, and I know I can still perform at the top level. My focus is on finishing the season strong and then making the best choice for my future.”
Manchester City officials remain optimistic about keeping their midfield maestro, with Guardiola publicly expressing his hopes for an extended stay.
The City manager stated* “Kevin has been an incredible part of this club for years. We want him to stay, but ultimately, it’s his decision.”
With contract talks expected to intensify in the coming months, De Bruyne’s next move will be closely watched by football fans worldwide.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is facing mounting speculation about his future after a series of poor results, with bookmakers already listing potential replacements.
Among the frontrunners are Andoni Iraola and Thomas Frank, both of whom have impressed with their tactical approaches at Bournemouth and Brentford, respectively.
Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has also been mentioned as a possible return candidate, given his past success at the club.
Despite the growing rumors, Postecoglou remains focused on his work, stating, “I’m not concerned about the noise; my focus is on improving this team every single day.”
However, Tottenham’s recent struggles in domestic cup competitions have only intensified the discussions surrounding his future.
While some supporters believe Postecoglou deserves more time, others argue that a managerial change is necessary to revive Tottenham’s ambitions.
Club chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly assessing all options, with an insider noting, “Levy is always keeping an eye on potential managerial changes, but he still backs Postecoglou—at least for now.”
With Tottenham currently outside the Champions League qualification spots, the pressure continues to mount, and a string of poor results could force the club’s hand.
A former Spurs player weighed in on the situation, saying, “This is a crucial period for the club. The next few matches will determine whether Postecoglou stays or if a new face steps in to take charge.”
As uncertainty looms, Tottenham fans will be eagerly watching how the club navigates this delicate situation.
