“Great pressure”. Hazard understands De Bruyne's decision to leave Man City

This summer marks the end of an era as midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City. Many believe he can still perform at a high level, but his Belgian national team partner Eden Hazard understands his decision.

Details: Hazard stated that playing for clubs like Manchester City involves great pressure, from which De Bruyne can now take a break and simply enjoy football.

Quote: “He will remain one of the best players in the world over the past ten years. The good thing is that now he can choose where to go and enjoy himself. Ten years spent at one of the biggest clubs in the world brings a lot of good, he's won a lot, but it also brings great pressure.

He's turning 34 soon, and at some point, you want to discover something new. He has every right, he's fully earned it,” Hazard said in an interview with public broadcaster RTBF.

Reminder: It was previously suggested that De Bruyne might extend his contract with Manchester City to play in the Club World Cup.
