Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City at the end of the season and it seems that he may be able to turn Liverpool from his next destination in the midst of interest from Italy
Liverpool reportedly made a blockbuster to sign Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder will leave the Etihad at the end of the season after he has not offered a new deal.
His output will put an end to a glittering spell with City that helped the side to six Premier League titles. And it seems that in the near future he could also be a challenge for someone else.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Liverpool has already submitted an offer to De Bruyne that would see him arriving in Anfield on a free transfer while Arne Slot wants to strengthen his team this summer. De Bruyne has made his desire to continue to play at a high level and is not against a switch to one of the most important rivals in the city.
Speaking after scoring the winning goals against Wolves last week, he said: “I know that I only have one home game left, but I just try to work and that is what I did today. Many teammates said it is sad that I have to go too, but that's how it sometimes goes in life. I don't know I can still play.”
De Bruyne made no secret of his dissatisfaction because he was sidelined through the city, talked about his exit after the recent victory in Goodison Park and made it clear that he couldn't care that CEO Ferran Soriano and director of football Txiki Begiristain were in hearing distance. A player who ran Ghent for Genk then only a teenager, he is not against taking a path that others might abandon being afraid of making former friends, colleagues and fans up region.
But the Reds – who trivialize suggestions, is made an offer – are not the only side interested in a deal for the 33 -year -old.
It is suggested that the Italian giants Napoli also keep an eye on a movement and hope that his relationship with fellow countryman Romelu Lukaku can slide them to the front of the queue. Elsewhere, clubs in MLS, as well as the Premier League rivals of Liverpool Aston Villa are linked to movements for the city star.
De Bruyne has four more city competitions as it looks now, with Premier League collisions against Southampton, Bournemouth and Fulham. They will also record Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final. He has revealed that he will remain in the dark about whether he will be admitted to the City's team next month for the club World Cup.
It goes without saying that getting a De Bruyne's quality player on a free transfer would be an incredible bit of company. He would bring some serious creativity into the heart of Liverpool's side – and the chance to place him next to Mohamed Salah would be tempting.
Funnily enough, it seems that De Bruyne himself would be open for a switch to Anfield who publicly admired the admiration for children for the Reds.

In 2019 he said: “I was a fan of Liverpool. My family who lived in England were all supporters in Liverpool, so I was. I loved Michael Owen because I was very small like him and also quickly. I compared myself at the time. I liked it. I liked it. I enjoyed it. [Zinedine] Zidane and Ronaldinho too – those really competent players. “
The only problem that the Reds could have was how he would fit in their current side. Liverpool's midfield has already been assembled well, with Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai forge an excellent partnership.
Argentinian playmaker Alexis Mac Allister has also shown this term, whereby Arne Slot claims that he earns much more credit than he gets. But undoubtedly De Bruyne would be an excellent option anyway.
