Manchester City have responded to Kevin De Bruyne’s announcement that he will not sign a new contract and will leave the club at the end of the 2024-25 season, marking the end of his remarkable ten-year tenure. The club issued a statement acknowledging his decision and expressing their intent to honor his legacy, saying they “will now take the time to deliver a fitting tribute and farewell to one of the greatest players to ever play in the Premier League.” De Bruyne, who joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015, has been a cornerstone of their success, contributing to six Premier League titles, a Champions League triumph, and numerous other honors. His departure, announced via a heartfelt statement on social media on April 4, 2025, has prompted an outpouring of gratitude from the club and fans alike, with plans underway to celebrate his extraordinary impact at the Etihad before he departs in the summer.
