Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne, a Belgian midfielder, has declared that he will leave the team at the end of this campaign. De Bruyne, who cost 60 million euros to join the Sky Blues from Wolfsburg in 2015, has become one of the best players to wear the City jersey. He has scored 106 goals and provided 174 assists in 413 appearances, adding to an impressive trophy collection that includes six Premier League titles, four of which were consecutive, one Champions League title, the first in the club’s history, two FA Cups, five League Cups, one UEFA Super Cup, and a FIFA Club World Cup.
De Bruyne still has the opportunity to add to his already impressive list of accomplishments as he gets ready to go. His team will play in the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States in June after facing Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semifinals. De Bruyne has won the Premier League Player of the Season title twice and been selected Manchester City’s Player of the Year four times during his incredible career. He was previously recognized as the top midfield player in the Champions League and has been named to the PFA Team of the Year six times.
Since De Bruyne’s contract expires in June, he is free to engage with other teams. As he gets closer to turning 34, a move outside of Europe is now thought to be the most likely possibility. He has been connected to possible transfers to Saudi Arabia or the United States in recent days.
De Bruyne has played a key role in Pep Guardiola’s success with the team in recent years. His success peaked in the 2022–2023 season, when City became just the second English team to win a treble after Manchester City in 1999. “I’ll get right to the point because if you see this, you might already be guessing what I’m going to say: these will be my final months as a Manchester City player. As a football player, you know that this day will arrive, even though none of this is simple to explain. In a sincere post on social media, he said, “Well, the day is today, and you deserve to hear it from me.”
