De Bruyne’s departure from City “is very difficult”

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has admitted that the Premier League champions Kevin de Bruyne is one of the most difficult moments during his career with the club.

The 33 -year -old will leave the team at the end of his contract at the end of the current season, after Guardiola decided not to make an offer to renew it.

De Bruyne this week expressed his disappointment for not giving him an opportunity to extend his ten -year career with City.
The Belgian playmaker has suffered in the last two years a series of chronic injuries that greatly affected his level and kept him away from many matches.

De Bruyne joins a list of the columns of the team who have gone in recent years, such as Ivory Yaya Toure, Argentine Sergio Aguero, Brazilian Fernandinho, Spaniard David Silva and Belgian Vinci Kompany.

However, De Bruyne’s farewell, who had a great influence on the team, would be one of the most painful moments of Guardiola, who said, “I lived a lot of moments with these players, beautiful moments and very difficult. Sergio, David Silva and many other players. We can prepare a long and long list, and we have been here for only nine sins. ”

“Many players came and left, but they all became part of my life. It is impossible not to feel it. Of course, it is very difficult. ”

On the feelings of De Bruyne, he commented, “I completely understand what he feels. It cannot be different. I wish him and his family all the best. ”

De Bruyne is one of the most crowning players in the history of Manchester City, with 16 titles, including six league titles and the Champions League.

De Bruyne will try to lead his team towards the Federation Cup final when Manchester City faces the Nutingham Forest team in the semi -finals at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

The coronation of the Federation Cup, in addition to ensuring qualification for the Champions League after a turbulent season, will be an ideal way to conclude de Bruyne with his career with City.
