I’m willing to listen” – De Bruyne refuses to rule out move to Premier League rivals having admitted he’d love to play for Liverpool

Kevin De Bruyne’s impending departure from Manchester City has cast a cloud over the Etihad, with fresh speculation emerging about his next destination.

What surprised many was De Bruyne’s recent admission that he hasn’t ruled out continuing his career in the Premier League.

Discussing his future, the 33-year-old suggested he’s open to any offer that aligns with a compelling sporting vision.

He acknowledged that while he’s no longer in his prime, he still believes he can compete at the highest level.

The comments have sparked speculation that Premier League sides could make a serious push to land one of the league’s modern greats.

Speaking to Fjortoft, De Bruyne stated:

“There is always a challenge, you know. I don’t know what’s going to happen next season. If teams come and then convince me that they have a nice sport project. I know I am obviously not the youngest anymore. I still think I am able to perform on the highest level. I don’t know what teams are interested or what they want to do. Whatever project [is] available – I am willing to listen. I love football – I love to play football and if a nice project comes and my family is also good with that, we will be able to make a decision.

“I don’t know. Honestly I don’t know. The decision to leave has not been long. Nothing can be decided in one week in the football world. I haven’t seen my family since the decision. I have to speak to them and then I will see whichever team wants me. So I don’t know. I have no idea.”
