Guardiola's Manchester City dismantles, apart from Ederson, the new star that would leave the club this summer

Pep Guardiola, City manager, is currently preparing the Manchester City team for the preseason they will have in preparation for the upcoming season. The current Premier League champions are one of the best teams in the world, but the Spanish manager wants to keep most of his star players in order to keep them competing in big competitions like the Premier League and the Champions League.

Many reports this summer have suggested that Saudi Arabia is after their star players, as Ederson Moares was considering joining Al Nassr this summer. While the Brazilian keeper is still with the team, rumors grow that Kevin De Bruyne may be on his way out of the club. The Belgian midfielder is linked to a move to the Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad.

De Bruyne's contract with Manchester City expires next summer, and Al Ittihad is willing to bid high for the Belgian this summer. Reports suggest that Kevin De Bruyne accepted Al Ittihad's offer and is close to leaving Manchester City this summer. The Belgian midfielder is now just waiting for an agreement between the clubs to make the transfer official. De Bruyne has already closed his personal agreement with Al Ittihad.

De Bruyne has played a total of 382 matches for Manchester City throughout his career. He scored a total of 102 goals and provided 170 assists. With Man City, he won six Premier League titles, one FIFA Club World Cup, one Champions League, one UEFA Super Cup, two FA Cups, five English League Cups, and two English Super Cups. The Belgian attacking midfielder is considered a legend at Man City and is arguably one of the greatest players to play for the club.

Man City would need to make a big signing this summer to replace him, but first, the club will look to accept a big offer from Al Ittihad so they can use the fee for a replacement. Names that come to mind are Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich. Pep Guardiola will be missing a key part of his team since there were doubts about the team without De Bruyne in the first part of last season.

Will Ederson Moares leave Man City as well?

While Ederson failed to make a move to Al Nassr this summer, the Brazilian keeper remains open to playing in the Saudi Pro League. Fabrizio Romano reports that Al Ittihad is also interested in signing Ederson, which would be two key Man City players moving to the same club.

Romano says that Al Ittihad has approached Ederson, and he remains keen on a move to the Saudi Pro League. He also agreed on terms with Al Nassr, but the deal collapsed. Talks will follow between clubs, with Man City insisting on their price tag of around $55 million. It will be difficult for Al Ittihad to complete a deal, but they continue to try.
