However, the Belgian maestro has more than justified his acquisition with his exceptional performances.

Micah Richards exclaimed,

“He’s one of the greatest City players ever!”

when asked about De Bruyne, a sentiment that Shaun Wright-Phillips fully endorsed. While De Bruyne’s impact at City is undeniable, some fans argue that he still has a way to go before being crowned as the club’s greatest ever player. Dedicated supporters who have followed City’s journey over the years may have other contenders in mind. However, De Bruyne’s contributions, both in terms of individual brilliance and team success, certainly put him on track to achieve this prestigious title.

Kevin De Bruyne has captivated the hearts of Manchester City fans and players alike. Richards and Wright-Phillips, two legendary figures in City’s history, have unanimously declared him as one of the greatest players ever to wear the club’s shirt.
