Reports suggest that Liverpool had discussions with De Bruyne, who was considering his options alongside other clubs like Juventus and Inter Miami. The Belgian international has previously spoken about his admiration for Liverpool, stating that it was a childhood dream to play for the club.
De Bruyne mentioned in an interview that he was a Liverpool fan growing up, influenced by his family's support for the team in England. He also admired players like Michael Owen, Zinedine Zidane, and Ronaldinho for their skills on the field.
Although De Bruyne reportedly had no interest in a squad role under Liverpool's manager Arne Slot, it's unclear why he ultimately chose not to join the Premier League team. Instead, he opted for a starting role at Napoli, which would provide him with more opportunities to shine.
De Bruyne's decision to join Napoli was likely influenced by his desire for a more significant role in the team, rather than being relegated to a squad position. By choosing Napoli, he aims to continue his successful career and contribute to the team's title defense.
