Kevin De Bruyne May Skip 2025 Club World Cup Amid Uncertainty Over Future
Kevin De Bruyne’s future at Manchester City remains uncertain, and it appears he may not participate in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The Belgian midfielder’s contract with City is set to expire at the end of June 2025, coinciding with the tournament’s schedule in the United States, raising doubts about his involvement. De Bruyne, now 33, has hinted at leaving the Etihad Stadium, and his potential absence from the tournament is fueled by concerns over his contract situation and the risk of injury.
De Bruyne expressed his reluctance to play in the tournament, citing the risks to his future and the odd timing of the event during a period of transition for both himself and the team. He emphasized that, given the uncertainty surrounding his contract and potential injury risks, it would be unreasonable to commit to the competition. Although he has not made a definitive decision, it seems increasingly likely that he will sit out, prioritizing his career and well-being over the competition.
While De Bruyne has not yet revealed where he plans to go next, reports suggest that Major League Soccer’s Chicago Fire could be one of the clubs interested in signing him. De Bruyne has always emphasized that happiness and the ability to continue playing football at a high level are his top priorities, rather than the prestige of being at a particular club. With 420 appearances, 108 goals, and 177 assists over nine seasons at Manchester City, De Bruyne has solidified his legacy as one of the club's all-time greats.
