Kevin De Bruyne to Liverpool?! Reds table shock contract offer for Man City's soon-to-be free agent to rival Serie A giants

<p>The Belgian midfielder, who has spent nearly a decade at the Etihad Stadium, has confirmed he will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-reveals-what-team-mates-think-forced-out-man-city-crucial-win-wolves/blt48466cfc4c532366" target="_blank">part ways with City at the end of the 2024-25</a> campaign, and according to <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/de-bruyne-napoli-calciomercato/" target="_blank"><em>Gianluca Di Marzio</em></a><em>, </em>the Reds are now vying for his signature. This audacious move could see De Bruyne line up against his former side next season - a scenario few would have imagined just months ago.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Liverpool’s pursuit of De Bruyne comes at a time when they are preparing to lose a key figure of their own in Trent Alexander-Arnold, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-trent-alexander-arnold-rejected-significant-liverpool-pay-rise-real-madrid-free-transfer-imminent/blt88e7b4cc6d6205ef" target="_blank">who is likely to join Real Madrid.</a> The departure of such a versatile outlet has left a sizeable gap in the team’s playmaking structure - one that the Reds might be hoping De Bruyne can fill. Although their styles differ, the Belgian’s vision, passing range, and leadership could offer Liverpool an immediate and world-class solution to the void.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Liverpool are not alone in chasing the former Chelsea man. Serie A giants Napoli have also made a serious play for De Bruyne’s services, according to the report. One of Napoli’s strongest assets in this race is their ability to leverage De Bruyne’s relationship with his compatriot, Romelu Lukaku. The two Belgians have enjoyed a close bond at international level, and Napoli will hope this connection could be a key factor in convincing De Bruyne to choose Naples over Merseyside.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Should Liverpool succeed in landing De Bruyne, it would be a statement of intent under Arne Slot. With a blend of experienced stars and young talent, the Reds are looking to build a squad capable of challenging both domestically and in Europe, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-replacement-man-city-advance-talks-priority-target-morgan-gibbs-white-nottingham-forest/bltecca3f26e468ab8d" target="_blank">De Bruyne’s arrival would undoubtedly elevate </a>their chances. Moreover, signing one of Man City’s all-time greats would add extra spice to an already fierce rivalry, injecting further drama into the next Premier League campaign.</p>
