Kevin De Bruyne Comments on Chelsea Exit, Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and More

Kevin De Bruyne has revealed that leaving Chelsea was the “obvious choice” after being denied the game time he needed by Jose Mourinho, according to FourFourTwo (h/t Liam Twomey for ESPN FC).

The Manchester City playmaker has become one of the world’s deadliest playmakers since leaving Stamford Bridge in January 2014, and retrospectively, his £18 million transfer to Wolfsburg could be viewed as a mistake by the West London club.

The 25-year-old recorded 10 goals and 20 assists in 34 matches in the Bundesliga, before moving to Man City in the summer of 2015 for £55 million.
