Great footballer Kevin De Bruyne (33) has confirmed that he will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, thus leaving the Etihad after 10 years.
The experienced midfielder's contract expires in the summer, and he has made the decision to leave the ranks of City and this has been speculated for a long time.
"When you see this, you probably understand what is coming so I will be direct and say that these will be my last months at Manchester City.
None of this is easy to write, but as footballers we all know that days like this come. That day has arrived and you deserve to hear this from me first. Football brought me to all of you and to this city. Dreaming my dream, I did not know that this period would change my life. This city. This club. These people... They gave me EVERYTHING. I had no choice but to give EVERYTHING back to them. And guess what - we won EVERYTHING!", De Bruyne wrote in his farewell letter.
He was brought by City in 2015 for 76 million euros from Wolfsburg and he won six English league titles with Citizens, and also has a title in the Champions League.
His stats
In total, he played 413 games for City, scored 106 goals and registered 174 assists, but this season he was far from the desired form and it was clear that he would leave in the summer.
Although it has not yet been announced where he is going, there is every chance that it will be Saudi Arabia. Neom SC is a club name you haven't heard of yet, but it's obvious that it will be the Belgian's next team.
Neom used to be called Al-Suqoor. Since 2023, they have been carrying the current name and are well on their way to entering the elite ranks of the competition. KDB could be the first big reinforcement of this rich team.
The offer was not revealed, but it is assumed that several hundred million euros are on the table, which forced the 33-year-old to leave this club and probably Europe.
Although, there were rumors that it could also go to the United States, but we will find out about that in the coming period. The KDB should confirm all this when it is completely sure of the decision.
