There has been news that Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne has to accept unconventional conditions to stay in Manchester City.
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 24th (Korea time) that `The Bruyne's contract expires in the summer and we are not talking about renewing the contract yet.'
Romano means that if there is no dialogue on a new contract by March, the separation is specific. De Bruyne is well aware of this situation. Maybe next week there will be a story between the club and the player, and we can try other things. In addition, Major League Soccer in the U.S. is interested, and Saudi Arabia is also interested. There are many opportunities for The Bruyne, so we have to wait to see which one to choose.

The Bruyne is born in 1991 and is over the prime of his career, but he is still a midfielder who is considered one of the top English Premier League (EPL) players. Since his transfer to Manchester City in 2015, he has led Manchester City's golden age and has recorded 118 assists in the EPL, which is enough to be considered an EPL legend. Manchester City also made great achievements, including four consecutive EPL losses and treble with The Bruyne.
However, the atmosphere surrounding The Bruyne has changed this season. In the aftermath of the injury, he was unable to play many games, and the possibility of a transfer was discussed due to sluggishness. The Bruyne, who chose to stay despite Saudi Arabia's offer last summer, has no choice but to leave Manchester City in the coming summer if he is not offered a renewal.
In this situation, some even argued that De Bruyne would have to accept shocking requirements in order to remain in Manchester City. City Extra' reported on the 25th that 'The Bruyne must prepare for a new role for Manchester City to remain in Pep Guardiola's team.

CityExtra is said to want to remain at Manchester City despite the various interests. If he stays with the team in the long run, De Bruyne may have to be OK with playing a supporting role from next season. He argued that De Bruyne may no longer be the mainstay of the team, but he may have to get used to starting games on the bench.
In the end, it is not possible to go against the passage of time, so in order for The Bruyne to stay, he will have to accept various conditions, including a reduction in playing time. As for The Bruyne, it is expected that there will be growing concerns between Manchester City's proposal and MLS and Saudi Arabia's proposal.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, who is in a similar situation to The Bruyne, has recently been mentioned as a possible member of the bench for the next season.
British media said Son Heung-min's performance is falling sharply. Tottenham are worried that Son Heung-min, a once-threatening striker, will not be able to return, and if Son remains at Tottenham next season, he may have to accept a bench role, pointing to Son's potential to go to the bench. Unlike The Bruyne, Son Heung-min cannot leave the upcoming summer team at will because his contract with Tottenham remains until the summer of 2026.
