A Fond Farewell or American Soccer Adventure?…

So, Kevin De Bruyne is packing his bags, folks! The ginger wizard of assists and side-foot spells confirmed he’s waving goodbye to the Etihad – his home since 2015. After collecting trophies like stamps – six Premier League titles and whatnot – he’s off like a pigeon from Trafalgar Square. But fear not, Manchester City fans, there’s still time for one more magic show with an FA Cup semi-final to savor!

Rumor has it, Kevin’s got the US of A on his GPS! Yup, sunny beaches and soccer pitches in Major League Soccer await our Belgian superstar, but not San Diego – they took a rain check on this one. He might kick balls around just in time for the 2026 World Cup when America is again football’s unofficial theme park! De Bruyne’s social media all but said: “Off I go, ye Citizens! You’ve been the wind beneath my ludicrously talented wings.” No corners cut there, eh?

Of course, speculation’s been hotter than a cup of tea in Pep’s tactical meetings. Saudi Arabia might throw its golden camels in the ring, and Bayern Munich’s Vincent Kompany might be prepping a friendship reunion tour. But for now, City fans are hoarding tissues and emotions, and Pep’s running a “Please Stay, Kevin” campaign – somewhat like when squirrels can’t let go of the last acorn of winter. As the betting world buzzes, join us in wondering: where will Kevin’s next soccer carnival pitch up?
