After Kevin de Bruyne created a game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday evening, he took another side swipe at the Manchester City hierarchy, which thought he was a new contract.
De Bruyne publicly confirmed that this would be his last season in the city at the beginning of April. Since then, the increasingly important 33-year-old has announced that he wanted to stay in Etihad with the decision to separate Begiristain from manager Pep Guardiola and sports director Txiki.
Since the news of de Bruynes departure was announced, he has scored two goals and scored more games in five games, including the only strike in a tight 1-0 victory over wolves on Friday evening. “I showed that I can still play here [in the Premier League] Otherwise, I don’t do what I have done in the last four or five weeks, ”said De Bruyne clearly after his penultimate home game in a city shirt.
“Obviously I know that I have another game here [at the Etihad] But I just try to do my job as I always did, and I did that today, so I’m proud of what I do. I give everything and I want to win the game. “
There is no lack of interest in the early Free Agent. The MLS franchise Chicago Fire will be charged as a favorite to call it up, but de Bruyne insisted that he would consider to join another Premier League club.
When De Bruynes were brought to Guardiola on Friday evening, he sympathized with the longest -reigning player of the current squad. “I am sure it’s not easy for him, but his contribution was massive, important,” admitted the Catalan coach. “He doesn’t have to prove anything, I know its quality and level. This is all.”
“He was an incredible player, but the situation is what it is,” Guardiola continued. “It is almost impossible to replace this type of player. It is not just the performance, it is what it means for many, many years for our fans. The success we have the players.”
