Kevin De Bruyne transfer bombshell as Liverpool 'make offer' for Man City star

Liverpool have reportedly made a blockbuster move to sign star . The Belgian midfielder is at the end of the season after not being offered a new deal.

His exit will bring to an end a glittering spell with City having helped the side to six titles. And it appears that he could also be challenging for another in the near future.

According to , have already tabled an offer to De Bruyne which would see him arrive at Anfield on a free transfer as Arne Slot looks to strengthen his squad this summer. De Bruyne has made clear his desire to continue playing at a high level and isn't against a move to one of City's main rivals.

Speaking after scoring the winning goal vs last week, he said: "I know that I only have one home game left but I just try to to my job and that's what I did today. A lot of teammates have said that it's sad I have to go too but that's just how it goes sometimes in life. I don't know what the future will be, but I know that I can still play here."

De Bruyne , speaking about his exit after the recent win at Goodison Park and making clear he didn't care that CEO Ferran Soriano and director of football Txiki Begiristain were in earshot. A player who walked out on Gent for Genk when only a teenager, he isn't against taking a path others would perhaps forego for fear of upsetting former friends, colleagues and fans.

But the Reds - who are downplaying suggestions an offer has been made - aren’t the only side interested in a deal for the 33-year-old.

It is suggested that Italian giants Napoli are also eyeing a move for him and are hoping that his relationship with compatriot can shove them to the front of the queue. Elsewhere, clubs in MLS, as well as Liverpool’s Premier League rivals have been linked with moves for the City star.

De Bruyne has four City games remaining as it stands, with Premier League clashes against , and to come. They will also take on in the final. He has revealed that he remains in the dark over whether he will be included in City’s squad for the Club World Cup next month.

Could Liverpool really sign De Bruyne?

It goes without saying that getting a player of De Bruyne’s quality on a free transfer would be an unbelievable bit of business. He’d bring some serious creativity to the heart of Liverpool’s side - and the chance to put him alongside would be tantalising.

Funnily enough, it appears that De Bruyne himself would be open to a switch to Anfield having publicly admitted childhood admiration for the Reds.

Would De Bruyne be a good signing for Liverpool?

Speaking in 2019, he said: "I was a Liverpool fan. My family that live in England were all Liverpool supporters so I was, too. I loved Michael Owen because I was really small like him and quick, too. I compared myself to him at the time. I liked [Zinedine] Zidane and Ronaldinho too – those really skilful players."

The only issue that the Reds might have would be how he would fit into their current side. Liverpool’s midfield is already well assembled, with Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai forging an excellent partnership.

Argentine playmaker Alexis Mac Allister has also shone this term, with claiming that he deserves far more credit than he is getting. But no doubt, De Bruyne would be an excellent option regardless.
