Former Manchester City defender Mike Richart has criticised the club’s decision to let De Bruyne leave on a free transfer.

De Bruyne (33) is out of contract at the end of the season and has decided to leave on a free transfer next summer after the club did not offer him a new deal.

De Bruyne has been at City for a decade and has been a key player for the club and has been a key player for the club so far.

Therefore, Mike Richart has criticised the club’s decision to let De Bruyne leave.

“From my perspective, I am disappointed that De Bruyne has left City. I think it is wrong to let a player like De Bruyne leave on a free transfer. De Bruyne could have done a lot for the club. But City have let him go. “I don’t think this is the right thing to do,” he said.
