Manchester City Nears Sensational Exit Route for De Bruyne: Last Months of Contract

Kevin De Bruyne may receive an unexpected end-of-career option at "Manchester City". Details of the Belgian's future amid transfer rumors.

"Manchester City" is reportedly preparing to offer Kevin De Bruyne an unexpected career conclusion as he approaches the final six months of his contract. The Belgian's long-term plans remain uncertain, as he is among the top 20 players with contracts ending in 2025.

De Bruyne is regarded as one of the Premier League's greatest midfielders, yet recent seasons have seen him severely hampered by injuries. Last season, he appeared only in 18 Premier League matches, and he recently made just his fifth start this campaign against "Nottingham Forest". The 33-year-old showcased his prowess, aiding "Manchester City" in ending a seven-game winless streak by scoring a goal and providing an assist in a 3-0 victory.

Prospective moves to the MLS and Saudi Professional League have been speculated, but De Bruyne has largely remained reserved when discussing his future. He recently confirmed that contract talks are on hold: “When I started the season, I knew talks would occur, but the injury against "Brentford" pushed everything aside.

I thought I'd be out for a few days, but it extended to eight or nine weeks. Currently, it's more significant for me to return to play, while broader issues will resolve naturally. I am not overly concerned with specifics, gladly ready to play, and we'll see how it unfolds.”

A recent report states that "Manchester City" is willing to offer De Bruyne a move to a club within their group when he leaves the team. He could transfer to any of the "City Group" teams, allowing "Manchester City" to maintain their connection with the club legend.
