Kevin de Bruin was once asked if he would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
On Friday afternoon, it was confirmed that D Brune would leave Manchester City at the time of 24/25 season.
In a emotional statement posted on social media, Belgium wrote: “Dear Manchester, seeing this, you probably realize where it is. So I will get it directly and tell you all that they will be as a player of Manchester City.
“It is not easy to write anything about it, but as football players, we all know that the day finally comes. That day is here- and you are worth listening to me first.”
Since joining the club in 2015, D Brune has played an important role in the city’s recent history and has been developed in one of the finest midfielders playing in the Premier League.
Overall, the 33 -year -old has so far made 280 demonstrations in the Premier League, scored 70 and assisted 118.
Although D Brune is one of the greatest players in modern football history, he is not at the level of Ronaldo and Messi.
Back in 2023, the midfielder was asked to take as partner of his team among the great people of two footballs.
D Brune said: “I would probably say Ronaldo because he is more than a specific striker.
“Messi is still more than a playmaker. I am a playmaker, you can give me a striker.”
