The time of Kevin de Bruyne at Manchester City ends in summer. The world star itself announced on Friday.
Ten years ago, Kevin de Bruyne switched from VfL Wolfsburg to Manchester City and has since completed 413 games in the dress of the “Cityzens”. However, too many games will no longer be added. The world star’s contract expires in summer-and the time of the 33-year-old at the club ends. The professional announced this on Instagram and on platform X.
The offensive midfield and Belgian international wrote to a black and white photo of itself with a blue scarf: “If you see it, it is probably clear what that is going out.
De Bruyne explains: “It is not easy for me to write this, but as a footballer we all know that this day will come. This day has come – and you deserve to hear it from me first.”
The six -fold English champion, who won all titles with City, also wrote to the followers of the club: “Football led me to all of you – and to this city. I pursued my dream without knowing that this period would change my life. This city. This club – gave me everything.
In addition to the championship titles, Kevin de Bruyne was in the 2022/23 Champions League winner season with the “Cityzens” and also two FA-Cup winners (2019 and 2023) and five league winners (2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021).
The captain of the club added: “Whether we like it or not, it is time to say goodbye. Suri, Rome, Mason, Michele and I are more than grateful for what this place meant for our family. ‘Manchester’ will be in the passports of our children – and, what is even more important in each of our hearts. This will always be our home.”
The paragraph indicates that De Bruyne may not want to go and would have liked to extend his expiring contract again. The football star also spoke over his time at Manchester City as the “best chapter”. It has not yet been clear whether he changes to another club.
