De Bruyne wants to leave Manchester City soon. He won’t take part in the Club World Cup

Manchester City’s Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne is spending his final season at the club and plans to sign with a new team during the summer transfer window. For this reason, he is not interested in participating in the FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held in an updated format.

This prestigious tournament will take place from June 15 to July 13 across stadiums in the United States, featuring the strongest European clubs. However, the 33-year-old veteran midfielder has stated that he intends to skip the tournament to focus on securing his future. According to renowned journalist Jeremy Cross, De Bruyne is afraid of picking up an injury during the Club World Cup, which could complicate his potential transfer.

Currently, Kevin De Bruyne’s contract with City is nearing its end, and the Premier League match against Fulham on May 25 might be his last appearance for the Manchester side. This increases speculation that the game could serve as a farewell match for a player who has spent many years at the club.

In a conversation with journalists, De Bruyne clarified that no final decision has been made yet regarding the tournament.

“I can’t say anything definite right now because we haven’t had a final discussion with the club. If the management wants to talk to me about participating, I’m ready — but I don’t see it happening that way,” said the Belgian star.

During his time at Manchester City, De Bruyne has become one of the team’s most important players. His on-field brilliance led to numerous trophies. He has won the Premier League and domestic cups multiple times and is regarded as one of Europe’s finest players.

Even this season, he remains a key contributor. However, his departure could lead to major changes within the squad and pose challenges for Pep Guardiola during the summer transfer window.

Manchester City fans are currently worried about his potential departure and hope the game against Fulham won’t be his last with the club.

In any case, De Bruyne’s decision is expected to become a hot topic for discussion among fans and football pundits in the near future. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
