That is according to a new report from Belgian outlet De Standaard, who claim that Kevin De Bruyne initially expected an extended stay at the Etihad Stadium, but now has a ‘clouded relationship’ with Manchester City following the decision taken over his future.

Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City at the end of this season. As a player De Bruyne cannot be replaced. He is a once-in-a-generation player and what he brings to Pep Guardiola’s squad cannot be replicated.

Kevin De Bruyne is undoubtedly one of the greatest Premier League midfielders, players of all time. Whenever the Belgian is on the ball, teams take notice. He can ping a ball wherever he wants, whenever he wants, with either foot and has been a key contributor all 10 years of his time at Manchester City.
