Kevin De Bruyne has announced that he will leave Manchester City at the end of the current season. The Belgian midfielder, who turns 34 in June, has been with the club for a decade, amassing an impressive 19 major honors, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2023.
De Bruyne's contract expires in June, and it appears there will be no renewal, partly due to his reduced performance this season and the club's tough negotiating stance on player contracts.
During his time at Manchester City, De Bruyne has played 413 matches, scoring 106 goals and providing numerous assists, making him one of the most successful players in the club's history. His departure marks the end of an era for Manchester City, with the club planning a fitting tribute to honor his contributions.
De Bruyne's future remains uncertain, with potential destinations including clubs in Major League Soccer or Saudi Arabia. There is also speculation about whether he will participate in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, as his contract will have expired by the knockout stages.
Despite this, De Bruyne remains eligible to play in the group stage, but any further involvement would require a special arrangement.
