Belgian footballer Kevin De Bruyne has said that he will join another club after leaving Manchester City at the end of the season. The 33-year-old became a part of City in 2015 and in his 10-year stint with the distinguished English club, he has racked up 70 goals in 278 outings. After breaking ties with the English club, Bruyne will become a free agent. In recent years, injuries have impeded his playing time. The star Belgian footballer’s form has been severely affected but, Bruyne will be still active in the sport.
Recently, he gave an interview to TNT Sports after guiding his team Man City to 5-2 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League 2024-25 game held at the Etihad Stadium. The midfielder remarked he doesn’t know what his future will be but he wants to play the sport. “It’s been a hard year, having a hernia wasn’t fun, but now I’ve been pain-free for the last six weeks and that’s a massive difference; playing with pain or not… But now I feel free, I’m able to do a lot of training, and I feel I can do a good job. I don’t know what’s going to happen but I want to play on, so we’ll see where I can end up.” said Bruyne in his chat with TNT Sports.
