De Bruyne will join the Italian team Naples, which will bring an end to his ten-year and impressive performance with Manchester City.
During this extraordinary decade spent at the Etihad Stadium, De Bruyne gradually established himself as one of the most outstanding players in his team's history.
De Bruyne has also been proved to be a crucial factor in helping Manchester City's most glorious period in 131 years of history.
De Bruyne joined from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2015, and during his time, he helped Manchester City win 19 important championship trophys.
In total, 33-year-old De Bruyne made 422 appearances for Manchester City, scoring 108 goals and contributing 170 assists.
He played an immediate role in his first season at Manchester City, helping the club win the 2016 League Cup.
In the summer of 2016, Guardiola served as the head coach, which truly made De Bruyne's influence fully demonstrate.
His creativity, technology, shooting awareness and organizational offense have helped him become one of the key core players in Manchester City. The team then set a series of records, creating an era of unparalleled success.
During a ten-year Manchester City career, De Bruyne won six Premier League titles, five English League Cup titles, and two FA Cup titles, and helped the team win the first Champions League title, while winning the European Super Cup and Club World Cup titles.
Among the individual honors, De Bruyne was also twice elected as the English Professional Player Association (PFA) Player of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Year.
A touching farewell ceremony was held at home after the last home game against Bournemouth last month. Club President Mubarak confirmed that it had been decided earlier to erect a statue for De Bruyne outside the Etihad Stadium.
After the home farewell ceremony, De Bruyne spoke at the Etihad Stadium, saying that the memories he created at Manchester City will be unforgettable for his life.
"It is indescribable to have the past ten years and experience everything that happened here. This is an indescribable happy journey, and it is definitely a kind of happiness.
" Work hard and trying to bring achievements to the club is a process of enjoyment in itself. I feel super proud to be involved.
"For the past decade, Manchester has been the place where I and my family make their home.
"Everyone inside and outside the club has tried to push me to be the best I am. They have made me much better than before.
"Manchester City fans have been so hospitality from the beginning, and I can get the support of all the fans of the audience and my family. This feeling is beyond words.
"Thank you very much. ”
All members of Manchester City wish Kevin all the best and good luck in the new chapter of his career.
