Kevin De Bruyne has expressed surprise and disappointment over Manchester City's decision not to offer him a contract extension, marking the end of his decade-long tenure with the club. The 33-year-old midfielder revealed that he received no offers throughout the year and was informed of the club's decision without prior negotiations. De Bruyne believes the decision was driven by business considerations rather than his performance, despite his significant contributions to the team.

Throughout his time at Manchester City, De Bruyne has made 416 appearances, scoring 107 goals and providing 177 assists. His achievements include six Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy. Despite his age and some fitness issues this season, he maintains that he can still perform at the highest level.​

Looking ahead, De Bruyne has not ruled out continuing his career in Europe, with potential interest from clubs like Juventus. He is also open to staying in the Premier League. Additionally, several Major League Soccer (MLS) teams, including Chicago Fire, Inter Miami, NYCFC, and DC United, have shown interest in signing him.

As he prepares for the next chapter, De Bruyne remains focused on finishing the season strongly with Manchester City, aiming to secure a top-five spot to extend the club's run in the Champions League. ​
