And oil! Still not getting a contract extension, this may be a helpless choice for many veterans. But it's also understandable for the club to do it, because the veterans are not happy to take a pay cut, and at the same time, they also need positions, and any team has to do the replacement of the old and the new. The 33-year-old De Bruyne and the 35-year-old Muller will both choose to leave this summer window.
In the first game of the 35th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Wolves 1-0 at home, not only won five consecutive wins in all competitions to rise to third in the Premier League, but also ended the opponent's six-game winning streak in the league. After De Bruyne scored the only goal of the game and won all three points, Manchester City's Premier League race for five is becoming more and more stable, and there is still the Champions League to play next season. However, the scorer De Bruyne previously told the media: My 10-year blue moon career is coming to an end, and I have not been able to wait for the club's contract renewal negotiations. No one could have imagined that De Bruyne would become the first veteran to leave Manchester City's midfield renewal. But the fundamental reason is De Bruyne's weekly salary of up to 400,000 pounds, De Bruyne is willing to accept rotation, but is not very willing to accept a large salary cut, so although there is still gas, he has to leave Manchester City. Kevin De Bruyne will not even play in the Club World Cup with Manchester City, and Pep Guardio's recent reuse of De Bruyne may be the best way to say goodbye to master and apprentice.
Muller is set to end his 25-year Bayern career in the summer window, but compared to De Bruyne, Muller will play with Bayern Munich after the first Club World Cup before leaving. For these veterans, it is the fans' emotions towards them, it is difficult to say goodbye, but there is no banquet in the world, and I wish De Bruyne and Muller a good career at their new club.
The 33-year-old De Bruyne, who is worth 27 million euros, has made 36 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions so far this season, including 24 starts, playing a total of 2,137 minutes, contributing six goals and eight assists.
The 35-year-old, worth €6 million, has made 41 appearances for Bayern Munich in all competitions so far this season, including 14 starts, playing a total of 1,516 minutes, contributing six goals and six assists.
