Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne has confirmed that he will leave the club at the end of the current season.
In an emotional letter titled ‘Dear Manchester,’ the Belgian midfielder addressed the City faithful directly, revealing that his time at the club is coming to an end.
“These will be my final months as a Manchester City player,” De Bruyne wrote. “Nothing about this is easy to write, but as football players, we all know this day eventually comes.”
The 32-year-old has been a pivotal figure in Manchester City’s modern era, helping the club to win multiple Premier League titles, domestic cups, and the UEFA Champions League.
“This city. This club. These people… gave me EVERYTHING. I had no choice but to give EVERYTHING back!” he reflected. “And guess what — we won EVERYTHING.”
He also spoke fondly of his personal life in Manchester.
“Suri, Rome, Mason, Michèle, and I are beyond grateful for what this place has meant to our family. ‘Manchester’ will forever be on our kids’ passports – and more importantly, in each of our hearts,” he said.
The announcement comes as the English league approaches the business end of the 2024/25 season.
De Bruyne urged fans to savour these last moments together: “Let’s enjoy these last moments together!”
While De Bruyne hasn’t yet confirmed his next move, speculation has swirled about interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, the MLS, and a possible return to Belgium.
