Kevin De Bruyne, the 33-year-old Belgian midfielder, is set to leave Manchester City at the end of the 2024–25 season, concluding a decade-long tenure that included six Premier League titles and a Champions League victory. As his contract expires, De Bruyne has expressed a desire to continue playing at a high level in Europe.

Reports from Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio indicate that Liverpool have made a surprising offer to sign De Bruyne on a free transfer, aiming to bolster their midfield under new manager Arne Slot. This move would be notable, considering De Bruyne’s long-standing rivalry with Liverpool during his time at Manchester City. (The Sun)

However, this claim has been contested by local Liverpool reporter Ian Doyle of the Liverpool Echo, who states that the club has not made such an offer and is focusing on other targets to rejuvenate their squad. (This Is Anfield)

In addition to Liverpool, Serie A club Napoli is reportedly interested in acquiring De Bruyne’s services. Despite speculation about potential moves to the MLS or Saudi Arabia, De Bruyne has emphasized his preference to remain in Europe, citing both professional ambitions and family considerations.

As the summer transfer window approaches, De Bruyne’s next destination remains uncertain, with multiple clubs vying for the opportunity to add the experienced playmaker to their ranks.
