Kevin De Bruyne announces exit after glorious tenure at Manchester City

In England, Kevin De Bruyne, a 33-year-old Belgian midfielder, announced he will leave Manchester City at the end of the season after a successful ten-year spell with the club. De Bruyne joined Manchester City in 2015 and has since established himself as one of the Premier League's elite players, making 413 appearances and scoring 106 goals while providing 174 assists. Over his decade-long career at the Etihad Stadium, he has collected numerous accolades, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five League Cups, a Champions League title, a UEFA Super Cup, and a FIFA Club World Cup. Despite his impressive career, De Bruyne's playing time was limited in his final season due to injuries, which contributed to his decision to leave. His success at City has positioned him as a prime target for clubs looking for star players, with potential interest from both Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Saudi Pro League. Fans and pundits alike recognize the significant impact he has had on Manchester City, helping to reshape the team's fortunes under manager Pep Guardiola. As De Bruyne prepares for his departure, discussions around his future options intensify. He might explore opportunities in various leagues, including returning to his former club Wolfsburg in Germany or making an unexpected move to a club in Belgium, though financial realities may complicate such moves. The imminent departure of De Bruyne is widely seen as a pivotal moment for Manchester City, marking the end of an era characterized by dominance in both domestic and European football since his arrival. In the final months of his career with City, De Bruyne hopes to conclude his time at the club on a high note, contributing to their efforts to secure more victories and potentially add more trophies, enhancing his legacy before transitioning to the next chapter of his career. Manager Pep Guardiola expected the fans and club members to honor De Bruyne for his contributions in the remaining matches of the season, recognizing that he deserves a grand send-off as he turns the page on his illustrious time at Manchester City.
