Kevin De Bruyne announced he would leave Manchester City at the end of his contract, concluding a decade that included six Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph. Pep Guardiola expressed deep sadness over De Bruyne's departure, highlighting his significant impact on the team with 413 appearances, 106 goals, and 174 assists. Guardiola praised De Bruyne's unparalleled skill and influence, stating that replacing him will be a monumental challenge for the club. City aims to honor De Bruyne with a warm send-off as they continue their pursuit of trophies this season.
It remains to be seen exactly when he will depart - Guardiola was not sure whether he will play in this summer's Club World Cup in the United States - but he knows the club are losing one of their most iconic players.
He gave us all of his humanity and his influence over the last decade...it's impossible to have managed it without him. Part of us is leaving.
To have been involved in 280 goals and assists shows he is one of the greatest midfielders to have ever played in this country.
His assists, his goals, his vision in the final third, that will be so difficult to replace. Anyone can make an assist but how many years? How many games?
