Jamie Carragher believes that if Liverpool had Kevin De Bruyne in their squad, they would have a strong chance of winning the Premier League this season.

The popular pundit made this claim back in January, stating that De Bruyne is “one of the best players we’ve ever seen in the Premier League.”

Carragher’s assertion comes after De Bruyne’s outstanding performance against Newcastle United last month, which led Gary Neville to state that the Belgian midfielder would command respect if he played for any club in the world.

Despite Manchester City narrowly beating Liverpool to two league titles, Carragher believes that De Bruyne is the ultimate difference-maker, who would spearhead Liverpool to the league title if he were on their roster.

According to Carragher, De Bruyne has been the best player in the Premier League for the past four to five years and has been the difference in how often City have pipped Liverpool to league titles.

Carragher argues that De Bruyne’s presence would have had a significant impact on Liverpool’s performance, given the lack of a midfield difference-maker like him in their squad.

“If you put him in the Liverpool shirt, Liverpool would win the league, that’s how dominant he is”, he said on Sky Sports.

Although Liverpool has talented players like Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister, and Endo, De Bruyne’s level of play is considered to be unparalleled.

Moreover, Carragher suggested that De Bruyne would have been the spearhead in Liverpool’s midfield, similar to how Steven Gerrard was during his time at the club.

However, Manchester City can count themselves lucky to have had the Belgian midfielder, who has led them to multiple trophies over the past decade.

In summary, Carragher’s view on De Bruyne’s potential impact at Liverpool raises interesting points, shedding light on the significant role the midfielder has played in City’s success and how his presence could have made Liverpool title contenders.
