As the sun sets on a remarkable era, Kevin De Bruyne, one of Manchester City’s most iconic figures, has penned an emotional farewell to the club he has called home for a decade. In a heartfelt message shared on April 4, 2025, the Belgian maestro confirmed that this season will mark his final chapter with the Citizens, leaving behind a legacy etched in silverware and unforgettable moments.

“Dear Manchester,” he began, “these will be my final months as a Manchester City player. Nothing about this is easy to write, but you deserve to hear it from me first.” De Bruyne’s words resonate with gratitude and pride, reflecting on a journey that transformed both his life and the club’s history. Since arriving from Wolfsburg in 2015, he has lifted 16 trophies, including six Premier League titles and the club’s first Champions League crown in 2023. With 106 goals and 174 assists in 413 appearances, his vision and brilliance have redefined midfield mastery. 

“This city, this club, these people gave me everything,” he continued. “I had no choice but to give everything back—and we won everything.” For stakeholders, De Bruyne’s departure signals the end of an era of dominance, but also a chance to celebrate a player who embodied City’s ambition. As he prepares to bid farewell, alongside his family—Suri, Rome, Mason, and Michele—Manchester will forever remain in their hearts, just as De Bruyne will in ours.
