Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has expressed his desire to continue playing football beyond his current stint with the club. As told to TNT Sports, he intends to explore new opportunities once his contract expires, making him a free agent this summer. De Bruyne, a skilled attacking midfielder known for his exceptional passing range and vision, has been a key figure in Manchester City’s success during his time at the club.

Background on De Bruyne’s Situation

With Manchester City not offering him a new contract, as reported on 5 April 2025, De Bruyne’s future has been the subject of speculation. The club has since confirmed that no contract offer will be made to the midfielder, according to statements released on the same day. This development has led to De Bruyne considering his options, with the possibility of joining a new club as a free agent. His contract talks with Manchester City had stalled, as reported earlier, leading to uncertainty about his future.

De Bruyne’s Style and Career

De Bruyne, who has played for clubs such as Chelsea and Wolfsburg in the past, is renowned for his creative playmaking abilities and goal-scoring threat from midfield. His experience and skillset make him an attractive prospect for potential suitors. As the summer transfer window approaches, De Bruyne’s availability is likely to generate significant interest from top clubs, with his agent likely to play a key role in negotiating his next move. Meanwhile, Manchester City has announced plans to honour De Bruyne with a statue, a testament to his contributions to the club.
