El fin de una ‘era’. Concretamente, la de Kevin De Bruyne en el Manchester City. El futbolista belga ha anunciado en un comunicado oficial que dejará el club ‘citizen’ al finalizar la presente temporada. Saldrá al mercado como agente libre tras una larga y brillante etapa de 10 años como estrella del equipo ‘sky blue’.
“Estos serán mis últimos meses como jugador del Manchester City”, declaró ‘KDB’. Llegó al Etihad en 2015 y desde entonces ha levantado 16 títulos además de contribuir de forma directa a 280 goles. El mejor asistente de la historia de la Premier League.
Estos serán mis últimos meses como jugador del Manchester City
El jugador de 33 años llegó al City en un traspaso de más de 60 millones de euros desde el Wolfsburgo. Tras no tener apenas oportunidades en el Chelsea, se consolidó temporadas después de dejar el Bridge como una de las más grandes estrellas de la Premier… al norte de Inglaterra, no en Londres.
En su palmarés destaca la Champions League ganada ante el Inter, seis títulos de Premier League, dos FA Cup o cinco Copas de la Liga.
El comunicado completo de De Bruyne
Este fue el comunicado de De Bruyne para despedirse del City:
“Al ver esto, probablemente se den cuenta de hacia dónde va. Así que iré directo al grano y les diré que estos serán mis últimos meses como jugador del Manchester City.
Nada de esto es fácil de escribir, pero como futbolistas, todos sabemos que este día llegará. Ese día ya llegó, y mereces escucharlo de mí primero.
El fútbol me condujo a todos ustedes y a esta ciudad. Persiguiendo mi sueño, sin saber que esta etapa cambiaría mi vida. Esta ciudad. Este club. Esta gente… me lo dio todo. ¡No tuve más remedio que devolverlo todo! Y, ¿adivinen qué? ¡Lo ganamos todo!.
Esta ciudad. Este club. Esta gente… me lo dio todo. ¡No tuve más remedio que devolverlo todo! Y, ¿adivinen qué? ¡Lo ganamos todo!
Nos guste o no, es hora de despedirnos. Suri, Rome, Mason, Michele y yo estamos sumamente agradecidos por lo que este lugar ha significado para nuestra familia. «Manchester» siempre estará en los pasaportes de nuestros hijos y, lo que es más importante, en cada uno de nuestros corazones.
Este siempre será nuestro HOGAR. No podemos agradecer lo suficiente a la ciudad, al club, al personal, a los compañeros de equipo, a los amigos y a la familia por este viaje de 10 años. Toda historia llega a su final, pero este definitivamente ha sido el mejor capítulo.
¡Disfrutemos estos últimos momentos juntos!. Mucho amor, KDB”.
Comunicado de Kevin De Bruyne.
¿Y el futuro…?
Su futuro ahora está por ver: los rumores, existentes desde la temporada pasada, han hablado siempre de una millonaria oferta desde Arabia Saudí. Pero, según se informa desde ‘Sky Sports’, De Bruyne ha iniciado conversaciones con el equipo de segunda división saudí Neom SC (un macro-proyecto en marcha que ascenderá este año a Primera) para unirse al club, conversaciones que se describen como “serias” y “positivas”.
También ‘Sky Sports’ habla de la MLS y del ‘nuevo’ San Diego FC. Son, seguro

Steelers draft picks, grades 2025: Pittsburgh passes on Shedeur Sanders in Round 3, takes RB Kaleb Johnson
USATSI Just as they did in the first round, the Pittsburgh Steelers passed on drafting quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the third round. The Steelers instead chose to select former Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson with the 83rd overall pick. The Steelers needed a running back to replace Najee Harris, and they're surely hoping that Johnson can fill Harris' shoes while complementing Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh's backfield. During his final year at Iowa, Johnson led the Big 10 with 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns while averaging 6.4 yards-per-carry. He also caught 22 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Last year, Johnson had eight games with at least 100 rushing yards that included a season-high 206 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Minnesota. Like Harris, the 6-foot-1, 224-pound Johnson is a big, physical back who can consistently move the chains. Johnson also […]

2025 NFL Draft: Cowboys stop Shavon Revel Jr.’s fall at No. 76; CB fills big need for Dallas
Getty Images FRISCO, Texas -- The cornerback position was one of the Dallas Cowboys' biggest remaining needs entering Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft. As a result, the team is selecting East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. with the 76th overall pick in the third round to stop the fall for what might be a first-round talent. Revel totaled 17 passes defended and three interceptions in his last 15 college starts, but an ACL injury in practice following the Pirates' third game of the 2024 season ended his college career.The Cowboys likely felt comfortable drafting Revel because head team doctor Dr. Daniel E. Cooper did his surgery and sent a letter to NFL teams to tell them he was on pace to be fully cleared in the summer. He has great traits, standing at 6-foot-2 while weighing 194 pounds with a […]

How far will Shedeur Sanders fall in NFL Draft? Colorado QB still available in Round 3 as Steelers pass on him
Getty Images Shedeur Sanders may believe he's the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class, but NFL teams apparently feel otherwise. After going unselected in the first round on Thursday night, Sanders was also completely overlooked in Round 2, when Louisville's Tyler Shough became the next quarterback to come off the board. He's now slid deep into the third round, even past the quarterback-needy Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 83 overall.His dramatic tumble comes hours after CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones indicated there wasn't necessarily a strong market for the Colorado signal-caller at the top of Round 2, despite several quarterback-needy teams like the Cleveland Browns owning picks to kick off Day 2. The Steelers, who passed on Sanders in the first round at No. 21 overall, had another chance to secure the passer at No. 83, only to select […]
