Recent matches have seen De Bruyne on the bench, including the significant 5-1 loss to Arsenal, and he didn’t feature in the game against Real Madrid last week. His performance in the recent loss to Liverpool also drew some criticism, raising questions about his ability to meet the rigorous demands of the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola has encouraged De Bruyne to rethink his future, emphasizing that the decision ultimately belongs to the player and the club ¹. Guardiola’s broader philosophy on squad building suggests that City may be preparing for life without De Bruyne, prioritizing players who can handle the intensity of playing every three days.

Interestingly, reports suggest that MLS club San Diego has shown interest in De Bruyne, potentially offering him a new chapter in his career ¹. As the situation unfolds, one thing is certain – De Bruyne’s legacy at Manchester City is undeniable, and his future will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.

He said:

“In that situation, he must make the decision; this is crucial. He needs to be completely honest with himself to understand what he feels and what he can achieve in the next phase of his career. With his 34th birthday approaching this summer, it’s a significant decision, much like the one faced by David Silva previously.”
