Kevin De Bruyne to Depart Manchester City After a Decade of Success

Kevin De Bruyne has revealed his decision to leave Manchester City when the current season concludes. The accomplished Belgian midfielder’s contract at Etihad Stadium is set to expire this summer, and he announced on Friday that he will depart the club as a free agent. Over the course of his decade-long tenure with the team, City has clinched 16 trophies, including six Premier League titles, five Carabao Cups, two FA Cups, two Community Shields, and one Champions League title.

Throughout his time in the Premier League, De Bruyne made an indelible mark, racking up 413 appearances with a noteworthy tally of 106 goals and 174 assists for Manchester City. In a heartfelt statement, he expressed, “Whether we like it or not, it’s time to say goodbye. My family and I are beyond grateful for what this place has meant to our family. This will always be our home.” De Bruyne joined City at the age of 24 from Wolfsburg in 2015 and has since become recognized as one of the Premier League’s all-time great midfielders.
