Liverpool may be about to shake up the football world by making a bold move for one of the Premier League’s most iconic players.
While fans of the Reds can take comfort in Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk extending their stays at Anfield, Manchester City supporters are preparing to bid farewell to a club legend. Kevin De Bruyne recently confirmed he’ll be leaving the Etihad at the end of his contract this summer—a decision reportedly made by the club, despite the midfielder’s desire to stay.
Sky Reports: Liverpool Table Offer for De Bruyne
According to a stunning report from Sky Sport journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Liverpool have submitted a formal offer to sign the Belgian playmaker once he becomes a free agent. Napoli are also believed to be in the mix, having made a serious attempt to land him.
De Bruyne Move Would Mark Major Shift in Liverpool’s Transfer Strategy
Traditionally, Liverpool target younger players in their early-to-mid 20s, aiming to develop them into stars during their prime years at Anfield. Signing a 33-year-old veteran like De Bruyne would represent a major shift in that approach.
Still, given his legendary status—once dubbed “the Godfather of attacking midfielders”—De Bruyne may be worth breaking tradition for. With his elite passing, vision, and tireless work ethic, he would bring world-class quality to Liverpool’s midfield.
Landing such a player on a free transfer would be a masterstroke, though it’s wise to remain cautious until more reliable sources confirm the move. If true, Liverpool’s ambition and strategy could send shockwaves through the footballing world
