Manchester, 4 April

Kevin De Bruyne has said he will leave Manchester City - confirming these are his "final months" with the Premier League champions. The Belgian playmaker, who is out of contract this summer, announced the news in an emotional post on X on 4 April. "It's not easy to write anything about but being footballers, we all know this day comes eventually. That day has come," he wrote.

De Bruyne joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015 for around $71 million and won every major honour with the club, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League. He has won a total of 14 major trophies at City and established himself as one of the all-time Premier League greats.

"This city. This club. These people... gave me everything. I had no choice but to give everything back! And guess what - we won it all," he wrote. "Whether we like it or not, it's time to say goodbye." De Bruyne did not say whether he would take part in the Club World Cup, which runs in the United States in June and July.
