Kevin De Bruyne confirms Manchester City's leave with an emotional statement.


Kevin De Bruyne has announced that he will leave Manchester City at the conclusion of the season, following a decade with the club.

De Bruyne, 33, had a magnificent 10-season career under Pep Guardiola, becoming the focal point of a club that ushered in a period of Premier League domination.

Since coming from Wolfsburg in 2015, the Belgian has won 16 trophies, including six league titles and the prestigious club-first Champions League in 2023.

He has made 413 appearances for the Citizens over an illustrious career, scoring 106 goals and providing 174 assists, cementing his place as one of the best midfielders in Premier League history.

However, the Belgian's minutes have been limited this season due to injuries from previous campaigns, and he has now declared in an emotional statement that he will quit the Etihad when his contract expires in the summer.

De Bruyne took to Instagram and commented, "Seeing this, you probably know where this is leading. So I'll get right to it and let you know that these are my final months as a Manchester City player.

"Nothing about this is easy to write, but as football players, we know this day will come. That day has arrived, and you deserve to hear it from me first.


"Football introduced me to all of you - and to this city. Chasing my dream, unaware that this period would transform my life. This city. This club. These people gave me everything. I had no alternative but to return EVERYTHING! And guess what? We won everything.

"Whether we like it or not, the moment has come to say our goodbyes. Suri, Rome, Mason, Michele, and I are extremely appreciative for everything this location has meant to our family. 'Manchester' will always be on our children's passports, and, more importantly, in each of our hearts.

"This will always be our home." We can't thank the city, club, staff, colleagues, friends, and family enough for our 10-year journey. Every story comes to an end, but this was by far the best chapter. Let's cherish these final moments together!

"Much love, KDB."

De Bruyne joined City for his second season in the English Premier League in 2015, after being labeled a "Chelsea flop" following an unsuccessful season with Jose Mourinho the previous year.

The midfielder went on to establish himself as a generational talent and a legend as a member of arguably the finest Premier League side ever assembled.


De Bruyne, on the other hand, was far from a bystander in the face of such high quality, as seen by his individual honors.

De Bruyne, a four-time Manchester City player of the season and two-time Premier League player of the season, performed at a level that his teammates could only admire. In addition, he finished third in the Ballon d'Or rankings in 2022.

De Bruyne's next destination is yet to be determined, although there have been speculations that he could leave the top tiers of European football for a lucrative contract in the Saudi Pro League. MLS teams are also thought to be interested, with league debutants San Diego FC reportedly eager.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
