Kevin De Bruyne has reportedly announced his decision to leave Manchester City at the end of the season.
The Belgium international, who won 16 trophies during his ten years at the club—including six Premier League titles, five League Cups, two FA Cups, two Community Shields, and a Champions League—said on Friday that he will become a free agent when his contract at the Etihad Stadium expires in the summer.
Dear Manchester.

“So I’ll get straight to it and let you all know that these will be my final months as a Manchester City player.

“Nothing about this is easy to write, but as football players, we all know this day eventually comes. That day is here — and you deserve to hear it from me first.
“Football led me to all of you — and to this city. Chasing my dream, not knowing this period would change my life. This city. This club. These people… gave me everything. I had no choice but to give everything back! And guess what — we won everything.”
“Whether we like it or not, it’s time to say goodbye. Suri, Rome, Mason, Michèle, and I are beyond grateful for what this place has meant to our family. ‘Manchester’ will forever be on our kids’ passports — and more importantly, in each of our hearts.
“This will always be our home.”
