In a move that has sent shockwaves through the football community, Kevin De Bruyne has announced he will leave Manchester City at the conclusion of the season.
The Belgian playmaker, hailed as one of the Premier League’s all-time greats, has hinted at staying in England, fueling speculation among elite clubs.
De Bruyne’s exit closes a remarkable chapter at City, where over a decade he claimed six Premier League titles, five Carabao Cups, two FA Cups, and a Champions League.
With 106 goals and 176 assists in 414 matches, his impact has been immense. Even at 33, he remains influential, recently contributing a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over Crystal Palace.
Though he previously dismissed the idea of joining Liverpool—despite being a boyhood fan—his willingness to continue in the Premier League has reignited rumors, especially with Mohamed Salah potentially heading to Saudi Arabia. Liverpool, in transition, could see De Bruyne as a perfect fit.
Further fueling speculation, De Bruyne has spoken highly of emerging talents like Roméo Lavia, a midfielder linked with Liverpool, praising his potential to become a top-tier player.
As the summer transfer window nears, top clubs across Europe and beyond are expected to pursue the Belgian star. Whether he stays in England or heads abroad, De Bruyne’s next chapter promises to be one of the most captivating sagas of the off-season.
