Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool Not in Talks for Kevin De Bruyne Transfer
De Bruyne Not on Liverpool Radar
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has moved to clarify swirling speculation around Kevin De Bruyne and a potential move to Liverpool. Addressing the rumours directly on his YouTube channel, Romano stated bluntly: “At the moment, from what I’m hearing, Liverpool are not in negotiations for Kevin De Bruyne.”
Despite increasing fan curiosity—“I have tons of messages here on my YouTube account in the comments”—Romano shut down any notion that Liverpool are involved in talks for the Manchester City star. He made it clear that the club have not even made contact: “Liverpool have not approached Kevin De Bruyne. Liverpool are not talking to Kevin De Bruyne.”
MLS Option Gaining Ground
While Liverpool’s name can now be ruled out, De Bruyne is still attracting interest from other clubs. Romano confirmed conversations with teams outside Europe, including in Major League Soccer: “Kevin De Bruyne is speaking to several clubs. I told you about Chicago Fire and more.”
The Belgian midfielder has been linked with a potential move to the United States as part of a career wind-down phase. Romano highlighted how serious the American club is about the pursuit: “Chicago Fire really consider an obsession—Kevin De Bruyne.” The ambition from the MLS side is clear, and it sets up an intriguing scenario as the summer window approaches.
No European Move to Anfield
Romano’s update ends speculation about De Bruyne possibly staying in Europe via Liverpool. Although the Premier League remains an option for De Bruyne under the right conditions, Romano underlined that “I’m not aware of Kevin De Bruyne being in conversations with Liverpool.” That distinction matters, especially as online rumours continue to circulate without foundation.
Summer Still Unfolding
While Romano ruled out Liverpool, he cautioned that the broader picture remains fluid. “Let’s see how it goes or if he decides to stay in Europe,” he said of De Bruyne’s future. The Manchester City midfielder’s next steps are still under consideration, and more concrete developments may come later in the window.
However, for Liverpool fans hoping for a marquee midfield signing in the form of De Bruyne, Romano’s message was definitive: “Liverpool are not talking to Kevin De Bruyne.” The Reds appear focused elsewhere as they build under Slot and prepare for key squad changes.
