Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City after a decade, having won numerous titles including six Premier League titles and one Champions League. Pep Guardiola paid tribute to De Bruyne, calling him one of the greatest midfielders in Premier League history.
Kevin De Bruyne, one of Manchester City’s most iconic players, has revealed that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season. In response to the announcement, City manager Pep Guardiola expressed heartfelt admiration for the Belgian midfielder, who has been a pivotal figure in the club’s success over the last decade.
De Bruyne’s contributions to City’s dominance in English football are undeniable. With over 400 appearances and 106 goals, the 33-year-old has helped propel the club to six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five League Cups, and even a Champions League victory.

Reflecting on De Bruyne’s legacy, Guardiola stated that the Belgian’s impact on City’s success cannot be overstated, highlighting his invaluable leadership and skill.
