“It is very difficult for me to declare it, but all the players know that this day will inevitably come. This day is for me and it is my duty to inform you first of this decision. Each story has an end, but it is certainly the best chapter.”

De Bruyne participated in 20 championship games this season after being absent from the stadiums due to the injury in September and the difficulty of restoring his complete physical form.
De Bruyne played 413 games with the club in all competitions, scoring 106 goals and offering 174 assists.
