Liverpool Dynasty puzzle: Don’t want Manchester City celebrities, but center?

Is Liverpool crazy? Don't want De Bruyne to fight the position of the chicken! Manchester City dynasty wants to rebuild, and the No. 1 midfielder in Premier League history De Bruyne must also choose the next one. We have said before that compared to the American League or Saudi League, De Bruyne hopes to stay in the top five European leagues, preferably in the Premier League. How about Liverpool?

Things went against my wishes. According to inside information disclosed by the authoritative British football media Liverpool Echo, Premier League champion Liverpool does not want to introduce Manchester City legendary superstar De Bruyne, because Liverpool needs to strengthen the position not the midfield, but the center and left back.

Manchester City's Belgian midfielder De Bruyne is about to turn 34. He has been playing for Manchester City since 2015 and is the center of the midfield for Manchester City to win the Premier League and Champions League championships. After the glorious Manchester City has entered a stage of alternating new and old, Guardiola does not intend to keep De Bruyne.

Due to injuries and age, De Bruyne's weight at Manchester City has dropped significantly. This season, De Bruyne has played 36 times for Manchester City, completing 6 goals and 8 assists. De Bruyne's original contract with Manchester City expires this summer, and Liverpool was once a potential next home.

Although De Bruyne will soon become a free agent, Liverpool also has its own problems. For example, Salah and Van Dijk, the two core players in the team, have become older players. If De Bruyne is introduced, the number of veterans in Liverpool will become higher and higher, and it will be very troublesome in the future.

Furthermore, compared with attacking midfielders like De Bruyne, Liverpool must upgrade their lineup and strengthen their left back and center positions first, followed by right back and center positions - right back Prince Arnold is going to Real Madrid, and center back Van Dijk is old.

In the center position, Uruguayan striker Nunes is difficult to take the big responsibility, and Liverpool has to sign a player at the center position. In this way, the probability of De Bruyne joining Liverpool is reduced.

Of course, De Bruyne is not without other places. For example, Napoli, a popular Serie A champion, is interesting to De Bruyne. It is not difficult for Napoli to qualify for the Champions League. The pace of the game in the Serie A is slower, which is suitable for elderly players like De Bruyne.

Do you think Liverpool needs De Bruyne?
