EPL: De Bruyne receive shock contract offer from Man City’s rivals

Liverpool have tabled a shock contract offer for Manchester City playmaker, Kevin de Bruyne.

De Bruyne’s exit from the Etihad has already been confirmed and he is set to leave the summer.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Reds, who replaced City as champions, are now vying for his signature.

This audacious move could see De Bruyne line up against his former side next season.

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, who is likely to join Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold’s departure has left a big gap in the team’s playmaking structure and it is one that Arne Slot might be hoping De Bruyne can fill.

Liverpool face competition for De Bruyne, as Napoli are also keen on the Belgian.
