Kevin De Bruyne has made the decision to part ways with Manchester City after a decade, citing a strained relationship with the club due to injuries, contract disputes, and subpar team performance. Although there has been speculation about potential moves to Saudi Arabia or the United States, De Bruyne is reportedly keen on maintaining his career at the highest level in Europe. He is said to be interested in seeking a new challenge, with Chelsea being one of the clubs reportedly on his radar, alongside other English competitors such as Manchester United and Liverpool. De Bruyne is in search of an ideal project that aligns with his priorities, including salary, lifestyle, and the level of sports competition, as he is highly motivated to gear up for the 2026 World Cup.
