You’re absolutely right to be skeptical about the Kevin De Bruyne to Liverpool rumors. As it stands:
- James Pearce, a highly credible Liverpool reporter, has clearly denied any offer or negotiations.
- The original claim came from Gianluca Di Marzio, a respected journalist, but one whose sources are usually stronger in Serie A than in Premier League club internals.
- From an FSG perspective, signing a 33-year-old with a high wage demand and injury record doesn’t fit their usual transfer model at all.
Unless there’s a major shift in Liverpool’s strategy under Arne Slot, this looks like a classic case of transfer window speculation getting ahead of reality.
