Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has revealed his surprise at the club’s decision not to offer him a new contract.
The Belgian international’s current deal at the Etihad Stadium is set to expire at the end of the season.
De Bruyne, who joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015 and has since become one of the Premier League’s standout players, confirmed that he would leave Pep Guardiola’s side in June.
With his departure on the horizon after a decade at the club, several top clubs are already preparing to sign the experienced midfielder when he becomes a free agent in June 2025.
Speaking to Aadamp9, De Bruyne said, “There was a little bit of shock as I didn’t have any offer from Man City the whole year.
“Obviously I was a bit surprised but have to accept it.
“I still think I can perform at this level but I understand clubs have to make decisions.”
