Kevin De Bruyne shares three-word message with Man City amid reported ‘Liverpool offer’
Manchester City have decided not to offer a contract extension to their star playmaker, setting the stage for his departure at the end of the season. At 33, many believed Kevin De Bruyne would head to Major League Soccer, but a surprising twist has emerged. According to Sky Sports Italy’s Gianluca Di Marzio (7 May), Liverpool have approached De Bruyne with a proposal that could see him make a shock switch to Anfield — a move that would undoubtedly stir controversy.
Though he’s started just 17 league games this season, De Bruyne has recently reminded fans of his enduring quality, registering two goals and an assist in his last four outings across all competitions. His performances have led many to question whether Manchester City will come to regret letting him leave, particularly with the club preparing for a significant rebuild after an underwhelming campaign under Pep Guardiola.
Could De Bruyne’s legacy be at risk with a Liverpool move?
On 8 May, De Bruyne posted an Instagram story showing off his sharpness at the City training ground, breezing past a teammate and scoring with the caption “Top bin Thursday.” He still has three league fixtures remaining — against Southampton, Bournemouth, and Fulham — along with the FA Cup final versus Crystal Palace, offering him more chances to enhance his legacy.
His exit could be the catalyst for a wave of departures at City, with several key players including Bernardo Silva, Ederson, Mateo Kovacic, John Stones, and Jack Grealish all rumored to be considering their futures. With new signings like Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, and Abdukodir Khusanov on the way, some are questioning the wisdom of letting go of a player with De Bruyne’s experience and impact.
De Bruyne’s Career at a Glance
Games: 418
Goals: 108
Assists: 177
Even though Guardiola may yet end the season with silverware and a second-place finish, the campaign has been far from satisfying. As De Bruyne nears his 34th birthday, he continues to demonstrate his ability to influence games — whether starting or coming off the bench — and remains a valuable asset in high-stakes moments.
