The Belgian midfielder revealed on his personal Instagram account earlier today that his 10th season at the Etihad Stadium will be his last.
He has played 413 times and directly contributed to 280 goals during a glittering period in the Club’s history.
The 33-year-old has been pivotal to our incredible haul of 19 major honours since he arrived in the summer of 2015.
De Bruyne to bring curtain down on City career
Speaking on Friday after the news was announced, Guardiola stated he has mixed emotions about the Belgian’s impending departure.
“Sad day,” he began.
“It’s a happy day for the fact of the pleasure that I live this time that I have with him.
“He gave all of us his humanity and of course his influence in all our success. The last decade would not be possible to imagine without him.
“It’s a sad day that one of us is leaving. Vincent [Kompany] left, Sergio [Aguero] left, David Silva left. I could say more names. It’s a sad time and a sad day.
“Still we have six games at home and he can enjoy with our fans.
“I’m sure he will get the love and recognition from all of us and fans of course that deserves.”
