English Premier League (EPL) champions, Liverpool have made a shock move for Manchester City playmaker, Kevin de Bruyne.
The Belgium international became available after Man City confirmed his departure from the Etihad, saying he’ll leave this summer.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Reds, who took over as champions from City this season, are now vying for his signature.

This audacious move could see De Bruyne line up against a team he won several laurels with and captained 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.
