When young Erling Haaland arrived at City and the world’s toughest league, the Norwegian had one of the world’s best and most creative facilitators behind him. De Bruyne helped get Haaland ready for the Premier League by ensuring that the striker got the best working conditions – Haaland took care of the rest. On Friday, the Instagram message came from the Belgian that it is now nearing the end.

Over the past two seasons, De Bruyne’s body has shown signs of feeling the tough schedule and opponents who all aimed to remove Manchester City from the Premier League throne. Now the 33-year-old is leaving the Etihad.

“When you see this, you’ll probably know why. I want to get straight to the point and tell you that these will be my last months as a Manchester City player. This club. These people… I had no choice but to give EVERYTHING back. And guess what – we won EVERYTHING,” De Bruyne writes in the post.

Six Premier League titles, two FA Cup trophies, 5 in the League Cup and the final Champions League title with Haaland at the top. After June, the 33-year-old will walk out as a free agent.
