Kevin De Bruyne's next club? Man City legend's former side extend cheeky invite for Belgian to return after Etihad exit announcement

De Bruyne officially announced that he will leave Manchester City at the end of the 2024-25 campaign as a free agent after his contract expires. The Belgian midfielder returned to England - having previously endured a tough time at Chelsea - in the summer of 2015 and signed for the Cityzens from Wolfsburg. In the next 10 years, the player won every major trophy at Etihad Stadium, including six league titles and a Champions League trophy. He was also an integral part of the 2022-23 treble-winning City team.

With De Bruyne exiting Etihad Stadium this summer, his former club Wolfsburg sent out a cheeky invitation to the player on social media and urged the veteran star to return to the Bundesliga and rejoin them. The 33-year-old spent one-and-a-half seasons at Wolfsburg, where he won the DFB Pokal and DFL-Supercup titles.

Quoting De Bruyne's X post where he made the announcement of leaving the Cityzens, the German club wrote: "Dear Kevin, do you remember? You and I ten years ago? How about the two of us again?"

Several top MLS clubs, including New York City FC, Chicago Fire and Inter Miami, are reportedly keen on signing the player, however, the City star is yet to decide on his future beyond the current season. He will be next seen in action on Sunday as Pep Guardiola's side face rivals Manchester United in the Premier League at Old Trafford.
