Since his arrival at the club in 2015, Kevin De Bruyne has made Manchester City history. Pillar of the Guardiola era, the Belgian embodied the success of the Skyblues on the national and European scene. But today, at 33, the time seems to have come for him to turn the page.
Kevin De Bruyne, in search of renewal
Over the past two seasons, De Bruyne has seen his role diminish, due to recurring injuries and the emergence of young talent. Although his talent remains undeniable, the player was forced to give up his place at the heart of a constantly evolving collective. Additionally, his status as the oldest member of the squad reflects the idea of a cycle coming to an end.
According to British media, Kevin De Bruyne would not be opposed to the idea of a final challenge before ending his career. He has never hidden his interest in a lucrative contract, even in a championship considered less competitive. This perspective is not trivial: for a player who has won everything in Europe, answering the call for new adventures can be an ideal way to conclude an exceptional career. And the most serious option for him is in MLS. The San Diego club is currently looking to attract.
One last challenge before retirement?
De Bruyne’s future remains unclear, but everything suggests he will move away from Manchester at the end of the season. If this departure materializes, it will mark the end of an era for the Skyblues, but will also offer the player the opportunity to shine under new horizons.
