Kevin De Bruyne was hailed by Pep Guardiola as one of the Premier League’s alltime greats after the Belgian confirmed yesterday he will leave Manchester City at the end of the season.

De Bruyne, 33, has won 14 major trophies since joining City from Wolfsburg in 2015, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2023.

“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,” De Bruyne said in a post on social media.

“Football led me to all of you - a n d t o t h i s 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.” De Bruyne has been instrumental in City’s rise to become the dominant force in English football.
