He's good but not at good as lionel messi and ronaldo. De bruyne can act as a play maker that was helping its club so much. I have seen many people are praising his performance but since de bruyne was facing injury and he was absent the the early season.
Pep is not having other solution than buy a new midfielder from another club. That's also the reason why pep was aiming to get dani olmo from leipzig. It's caused by the club really needs someone who can play as good as de bruyne in building a creative attack for the club. Im not even doubting it right now if pep will be trying to go all in for olmo. I do really support manchester city to get a creative attacking midfielder that can maximizing haaland's potential.
Manchester city without a creative midfielder is nothing other than average team. The key was on the de bruyne that can make haaland's skill become very active at this moment. Let's see which name that will be picked by de bruyne.
