Liverpool are preparing for a major squad overhaul this summer under Arne Slot
Arne Slot’s men made the trip to Chelsea on Sunday as they were beaten 3-1 but the result was of little consequence to the travelling supporters who revelled in Liverpool’s status as Premier League champions. Arsenal head to Anfield after losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the Champions League. The French side have knocked out three English sides in the tournament after ending Liverpool’s campaign and beating Aston Villa in the last eight.
Despite winning the title, Liverpool are poised for a busy summer of transfers as Slot gets down to business.
Liverpool make shock offer to sign Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne
Liverpool have made a surprise offer to sign Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer, according to Gianluca DiMarzio and Sky Sports Italy. The news from Italy comes amid reports that Napoli are keen to sign the Belgian international and they hope his relationship with Romelu Lukaku can help get the deal done.
However, Liverpool World understands that De Bruyne’s family is settled in Manchester and he is reluctant to leave the Premier League. With the Reds making an offer to sign the 33-year-old, he will now weigh up the opportunity to remain in the top flight. He is reportedly on a massive £400,000 a week with City and would have to take a pay cut to join Liverpool.

“Greatest or not the greatest, always you have to be careful with players that played at Maine Road, incredible players in the last 20/30 years in this club. But come on, there's no doubt he's one of the greatest for sure because of his consistency in important games, not important games, being there every three days all the time. There is no doubt.”
De Bruyne’s has already hinted at his desire to remain at the top level, as he revealed his surprise last month of not being offered a new deal by City. He said: "I have not had any offer the whole year, they just took a decision. Obviously, I was a bit surprised but I just have to accept it. Honestly, I still think I can perform at this level like I'm showing, but I understand clubs have to make decisions."
