Kevin De Bruyne Announces Manchester City Departure: “Guardiola Pushed Me to Leave”
In a shocking revelation, Manchester City’s midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne has confirmed that he will leave the Etihad at the end of the season.
Speaking at a press conference, the Belgian playmaker admitted that his departure was not originally part of his plan but claimed that Pep Guardiola played a key role in his decision.
“This Is My Last Season at the Etihad”
De Bruyne, who has been a crucial figure in City’s dominance over the past decade, made his announcement in an emotional press conference.
“This is going to be my last season here at the Etihad. It wasn’t my plan to leave now, but Guardiola pushed me to.”
The 32-year-old’s comments suggest that his relationship with Guardiola may have soured in recent months, despite their incredible success together.
Under the Spanish manager, De Bruyne has developed into one of the best midfielders of his generation, winning multiple Premier League titles, domestic cups, and the much-coveted Champions League last season.
Why Is De Bruyne Leaving?
Although De Bruyne did not go into specifics about Guardiola’s role in his departure, speculation has been mounting over his future at City.
Injuries have limited his appearances this season, and with City already eyeing a squad rebuild, his departure could be part of a long-term transition plan.
There have also been rumors of interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, as well as European giants looking to capitalize on his uncertain future.
While no destination has been confirmed, De Bruyne’s announcement is sure to trigger a fierce race for his signature in the summer transfer window.
End of an Era
Since arriving from Wolfsburg in 2015, De Bruyne has cemented himself as one of Manchester City’s greatest-ever players.
With over 100 goals and 200 assists for the club, he has been instrumental in their dominance under Guardiola.
His departure will mark the end of an era for City, and fans will undoubtedly give him a hero’s send-off in his final games.
With De Bruyne’s exit now confirmed, questions will arise over who will replace him and how City will adapt without their midfield talisman. One thing is certain: football will miss seeing him in a Manchester City shirt.
