Kevin De Bruyne was associated with a move to Liverpool after it was confirmed that the Belgian will leave Man City when his contract ends at the end of the season
Just the suggestion that Liverpool makes a movement for Kevin De Bruyne has fueled a reaction from Pep Guardiola. The boss of Manchester City expressed his desire for 'the best' for the midfielder and his family, even if it means that he becomes a member of a domestic rival.
Over the past decade, De Bruyne has been a steadfast for Man City, who produced more than 400 performances, yielded 108 goals and offers 177 assists. He has conquered two of his six Premier League titles in nail biting finishes against Liverpool. Now that he is approaching his 34th birthday, it has been announced that he will leave the Etihad stage.
The Echo of Liverpool understands that the Reds have not made an offer for their long -standing rival, where their recruitment team focuses on other goals to strengthen the Arne Slot team. The Belgian international has the opportunity to continue his career at another English club of another top air, not excluded, which means that such rumors are fueled over the transfer.
When asked about the prospect that De Bruyne moved to a rival club, Guardiola replied: “I don't know, I want the best for Kevin, for his family – the best,”.
De Bruyne is loosely connected to Liverpool during his career and dates back to images of him as an 11 -year -old in Genn's youth system, where he unveiled his youth support for the Anfield side in the early 2000s.
Aston Villa is said to also look at De Bruyne, attracted to his Champions League experience, but recent speculation has focused on a potential relocation to Napoli, with the Series A leaders who now stand up as favorites.
Except for that, alternative options seem to include the Chicago Fire in the MLS or the Saudi Pro League.
Slot focused on the activity of the summer transfer and noted: “If I think there is no way for us to improve, then we would have had a problem because I know – normally I always say 99.9%, but now I know 100% – sure that city and arsenal will improve.
“That improvement will also come by (rubs fingers to show money) that probably brings in new players, because that is what they have done for so many years in a row, so we would be surprised if they didn't do it now.
“But perhaps we have given the example that sudden teams now have the feeling:” Ah, maybe it's better not to buy someone, because then you can win the competition. “I don't think that will happen, but you never know!”.
“They will improve, so we must also improve, and there is room for improvement for us. But we have been really consistent the entire season, and yes, you can improve, but consistency is the key to winning a title.”
Slot believes that the city and Arsenal will inevit their squadrons inevitably through new signing sessions, given their historical spending patterns. However, he also emphasized the importance of consistency that his team has demonstrated the entire season.
