“There was a bit (shock),” Bruyne reflected in the media. “I had no offer all year round and the club made a decision. Obviously I was a little surprised, but I have to accept it.
“Honestly, I think I can act at this level as I show, but I understand that clubs have to make decisions.”
Revealing the truth behind the announcement of his departure, by Bruyne confessed CityThe decision was made several days before taking social media to say goodbye to the fans.
“It spent half a week until I reported it and it wasn’t nice,” he added. “My family was not home. They were on vacation, so it was a bit strange, but it’s what it is.
“After the decision was made and when I went out, it was a relief more when I reported it in the outside world compared to when I knew it and nobody else knew it. You do not know what to do with excitement with everyone and how to handle -in the club. Now it is outside, it is fine and people see the way I am. I try to do the best and win games for the team. I love to play football, so it is.”
It is believed that City chose to train with De Bruyne to help fund a significant review of the squad this summer. It was reported that he won around £ 400,000 a week in Manchester, that salary can be used to sign younger players to help the team compete again in the Premier League title next season.
“It’s basically that’s why they made the decision, because the whole team has struggled,” said De Bruyne.
“ Maybe if the team did not fight and returned as I did this year and I realized it as normal, they would make another decision. I don’t know, they told me what the decision was and I can’t really say what they think inside.I still think I’m in good shape, I played much more than last year, except for hernia. I feel good and the pace comes.
“I don’t feel like I want to share (the exact reasons for the city’s decision) because it is basically more than business and made a decision based on this. It wasn’t really a long conversation. It was what I was told and then there is nothing. I have to accept the situation even though I feel that I can still do a good job, but that’s.”
