After a streak of three unbeaten league matches, Manchester City appears to have finally steadied themselves. A favorable point for Pep Guardiola and his team is that during their period of poor form, most of the teams at the top of the league table also performed inconsistently. Looking at the league standings, they are only two points away from the top four. Moreover, considering that the season is just over halfway through, even the 12-point gap with the top team is not insurmountable. At the same time, during this winter transfer window, Manchester City is operating multiple important transfers simultaneously, hoping to welcome new signings at key positions. The Billionaire's Farewell in the Winter Window In midfield, Kevin De Bruyne has been underwhelming since returning from injury. Compared to the second half of last season, the Belgian superstar's decline in form is visibly noticeable. This season, De Bruyne has only managed two goals and three assists in 17 games across all competitions, which can be considered mediocre. Currently, there are no signs of De Bruyne's form improving, as he has only contributed one assist in the last seven consecutive matches. With less than six months left on his contract, theoretically, De Bruyne can already negotiate his next contract with any team. Manchester City's stance on this matter is quite clear; they are inclined to part ways with De Bruyne.

Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Leicester City undoubtedly provided them with some relief, especially considering their recent form. However, the focus of this match extended beyond just the win.

Grealish, the most expensive player in Manchester City's history, remained on the bench throughout the match. Despite the significant investment in him, he has failed to score any goals and even his assist count is limited. His last goal for City was against Crystal Palace in December 2022, and nearly a year later, he has yet to rediscover his form. Pep Guardiola chose not to use one of his substitutions on Grealish, which has led to questions about the player's future at the club. Some fans have suggested that Guardiola may no longer trust Grealish, and if this continues, it could spell trouble for the midfielder's career at City. The team's performance in the match was strong, with City controlling the game and securing a victory after a series of impressive combinations led to their first win in six matches. However, the spotlight remains on Grealish's lack of involvement. There are concerns that Grealish's personal life may be affecting his professional performance, with rumors suggesting that he is too relaxed off the field. This, coupled with his lackluster on-field displays, has raised doubts about his ability to regain his previous level of…
