New Delhi, April 20 (NationPress) Manchester City icon Kevin De Bruyne, who will conclude his ten-year tenure with the club after this season, is contemplating a future in the Premier League following his exit.

The Belgian midfielder joined Manchester City in 2015 and experienced an unparalleled career revival. He has established himself as a Premier League icon, securing six league titles. De Bruyne is also a victor of the Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup, amassing over 400 appearances for City.

At 33, he has been rumored to be considering offers from the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer in the USA but believes he still possesses the ability to compete at a high level and is open to remaining in England.

“I’m receptive to any possibilities, as I need to evaluate the broader situation. I’m considering sporting aspects, family, and what makes the most sense for us. I remain uncertain about what that entails, as it relies on discussions with various people about their projects. I still feel capable of performing well, but ultimately, I’ll have to make a decision when I know more,” De Bruyne stated, as reported by The Athletic.

This season has been tough for De Bruyne due to injuries. During the 2024/25 campaign, he faced physical challenges that kept him off the pitch for significant durations. Nevertheless, he has managed to participate in 35 matches for Manchester City, netting five goals and contributing eight assists.

He also revealed that he did not receive any offer from City to continue and was taken aback by the decision, though he comprehended it. “I have not received any proposal all year; they (City) made a choice. Naturally, I was a bit surprised, but I must accept it. It’s all right. I genuinely believe I can still perform at this level as evidenced by my play. I recognize that clubs must make necessary decisions,” he added.
