The 33-year-old announced at the beginning of the month he would be leaving the Etihad when his current deal expires at the end of the season.
The Belgian midfielder also said he has not made any decisions about his future.
"I have not had any offer the whole year, they just took a decision," said De Bruyne.
"Obviously, I was a bit surprised but I just have to accept it. Honestly, I still think I can perform at this level like I'm showing, but I understand clubs have to make decisions."
