Man City add Morgan Gibbs-White to shortlist! Kevin De Bruyne replacement search leads champions to Nottingham Forest midfielder

<p>According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6263607/2025/04/08/gibbs-white-wirtz-manchester-city-transfer/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, City are looking at the Forest talisman, 25, and Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, 21, as potential replacements for De Bruyne - who will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-official-midfielder-confirms-leave-man-city-emotional-message-fans/blt539077ebbba59885#csc92ba1d8bc490b78" target="_blank">leave the club this summer</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>De Bruyne, 33, will go down as one of City's greatest ever players and one of the best to ever do it in the Premier League. Finding a replacement for the Belgian, who has won a hatful of trophies at the Etihad, will not be easy. While it seems the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-forced-out-man-city-pep-guardiola-club-decision-not-easy/blte472a6395e704596#csddc5ac8c22d24d13" target="_blank">ex-Chelsea man's exit was on the cards</a>, he will be sorely missed there. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The report adds that City do not intend to prioritise transfer targets until new director of football Hugo Viana, who is<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-new-sporting-director-ex-premier-league-midfielder-txiki-begiristain/blt46fe965682c99cfb" target="_blank"> replacing Txiki Begiristain</a>, gets fully underway in his role - which begins this week. </p><p></p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Until then, De Bruyne will want to feature as much as possible for City as the season draws to a close. It's been a remarkable 10 years for the veteran, who will be a free agent,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-next-club-man-city-legend-former-side-extend-invite-for-belgian-to-return-etihad-exit/blt5b8499183679cd2c#cs2816b376de4e3595" target="_blank"> and it remains to be seen where he will move next</a>.</p>
