LIVERPOOL NEWS AND RUMOURS INCLUDING THE LATEST ON KEVIN DE BRUYNE'S FUTURE AMID SPECULATION LINKING THE MAN CITY MIDFIELDER WITH A SHOCK MOVE TO ANFIELD THIS SUMMER 07:00, 22 May
2025Updated 07:45, 22 May 2025 Kevin De Bruyne has reportedly made a decision on his future beyond Manchester City, and it won’t include Liverpool. The Reds were claimed to be a potential
destination for the Belgian midfielder this summer as his decade-long stint at the Etihad Stadium comes to an end. He is set to become a free agent when his contract expires, and rumours
briefly linked Liverpool with a potential move, although the ECHO understands the Reds are not currently looking at signing him. That said, it didn’t stop Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah
from publicly encouraging De Bruyne to make the switch to Anfield. In an interview with Sky Sports last week, the Egyptian paid tribute to the midfielder’s outstanding City career, while
jokingly adding at the end: “We have space for him!” READ MORE: Jamie Carragher sends brutal Man Utd message before Mohamed Salah rubs salt into woundsREAD MORE: Liverpool could negotiate
Florian Wirtz discount after previous transfer talks as advantage emerges Although De Bruyne didn’t rule out the possibility of talks with other English clubs following City’s FA Cup final
defeat over the weekend, it now appears he has ruled out staying in the Premier League altogether. That’s according to The Telegraph, who report that De Bruyne has opted against remaining in
England and will instead continue his career abroad. Serie A giants Napoli and MLS side Chicago Fire are currently the two clubs most heavily linked. They now appear to be the frontrunners
for his signature, should these latest developments prove accurate. Article continues below The Athletic’s David Ornstein echoed similar sentiments while speaking to NBC Soccer this evening,
saying: “There’s no decision so far on what he’s going to do next. I would expect that [to come] maybe within the next four weeks. “I think it’s unlikely he’ll play at the FIFA Club World
Cup for Manchester City as he’s got a couple of World Cup qualifiers with Belgium to focus on. We’ll see where he ends up next as there are opportunities in the MLS and in Europe, with
Napoli in particular. Turkey, too. “The Premier League would hold possibilities but I think that’s unlikely on his behalf. There were suggestions of Liverpool, but I don’t think that’s going
to happen. I don’t think he’d want to play against Manchester City in the future.” Article continues below CELEBRATE LIVERPOOL'S PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE WIN WITH THE PERFECT SOUVENIR
