Facing the old owner? De Bruyne is dissatisfied with Manchester City s consideration of joining Liverpool but gives up because of Werz

On June 14, Belgian media exclusively updated more insider details about former Manchester City captain and world-class midfielder De Bruyne joining Naples. According to them, De Bruyne was initially very dissatisfied with Manchester City's decision not to renew his contract and once considered joining Manchester City's strongest opponent in the Premier League, Liverpool. However, Werz's joining made him eventually give up the idea of ​​facing the old master and become a member of Naples.

33-year-old De Bruyne played for Manchester City for a full 10 years, growing from a 23-year-old young man to a 33-year-old veteran. During this period, he played 422 games for Manchester City as the core of the midfield, scoring amazing data of 108 goals and 177 assists, and won 19 championship trophys including 6 Premier League, 5 League Cups, 3 Community Shield Cups, 2 FA Cups, 1 Champions League, 1 European Super Cup and 1 Club World Cup. He won the PFA English Football Player of the Year and Premier League Player of the Year awards twice.

However, with Manchester City's record decline last season, the team's renewal has also been put on the agenda. De Bruyne was the first to be a abandoned son after 10 years of merit. In April this year, Manchester City announced that it would not renew his contract. De Bruyne then said in an interview with the media that he didn't care. But everyone knows how big a blow this news has hit him. After all, for the past 10 years, De Bruyne has appeared as King Etihad, leading the team to win one championship after another. From the age of 23 to 33, he dedicated his best 10 years of his life to Manchester City. It is precisely because of this that De Bruyne emotionally cannot accept Manchester City's clean and neat abandonment.

Belgian midfielder is eager to continue playing in high-level leagues to maintain his form. For him, he may be the last 2026 US-Canada and Mexico World Cup. Therefore, De Bruyne is willing to cut his salary and renew his contract and continue to play in Manchester City for another year, but Manchester City did not give him this opportunity. Even so, De Bruyne's first choice is to stay in the Premier League, while the Reds Liverpool has become the team he is seriously considering joining.

As a child, De Bruyne was a big fan of Liverpool, but then joined Chelsea and eventually made a name for himself at Manchester City. In terms of strength and background, Liverpool is Manchester City's strongest competitor in recent years, and their new coach Slott is also very happy to cooperate with De Bruyne. However, the German midfielder genius Wiltz's diagonal stab made it impossible for both sides to hold hands.

In fact, the original intention of Manchester City not renewing the contract with De Bruyne was to clear the obstacles for the purchase of Wilz. But Wiltz did not choose Manchester City and Bayern in the end, but was in love with Liverpool. In this case, De Bruyne also realized that he was not Liverpool's first choice, so he took the initiative to give up the idea of ​​"joining the army".

Now, De Bruyne has officially become a member of the new Serie A champion Naples. He successfully held hands with his national teammate Lukaku. This is a perfect result for him and Manchester City. After all, neither side wants to see the scene of wearing a Liverpool jersey against Manchester City.
