Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne 'to leave Man City' this summer with stunning replacement already chosen

City are reportedly set to allow two of their longest-serving players to leave the club.

Manchester City are planning to allow both Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne to leave the club this summer, according to a new report.

De Bruyne is out of contract at the Etihad Stadium this summer, having signed a new five-year contract back in 2019.

He was linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League last year but decided to enter the final year of his deal at City.

This campaign has been largely a disappointment for the Belgian, 34, as he has been in and out of the City lineup. He has, however, had eight goal contributions in 19 Premier League games domestically.

Silva, meanwhile, has been a near ever-present for Pep Guardiola's side this season but the 30-year-old come in for some criticism from fans for his approach.

According to a new report, Guardiola is set to part company with both players and will allow De Bruyne to run his contract down before moving on.

Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg claims that Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is lined up to replace the duo.

It is noted that his agency, CAA Stellar, has close ties with City as they helped to facilitate Omar Marmoush's move to the club from Frankfurt in January.

The France midfielder is keen to remain at Real, according to Don Balon, but only if Carlo Ancelotti remains at the club beyond this season.

Camavinga is said to have a close relationship with Ancelotti and may not stay at the club if he is replaced at the end of the campaign, with Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso the current favourite to step in.

The midfielder was linked with a loan move to Arsenal in 2023 but those claims were quickly rubbished by the player's agent.

Fichajes claim that Camavinga could be available for as little as €70 million this summer, which would surely spark the interest of City bosses.

The 22-year-old, however, still has four years remaining on his contract and has been a regular member of the starting XI when fit - meaning City may have to pay a much larger fee to their Champions League rivals.
