Every club has the story of a player who was let go too early.
Arsenal probably wish they had Serge Gnabry, Manchester United paid through the nose to bring Paul Pogba back after letting him go and Man City could have spent many sleepless nights for Jerome Boateng.
However, the worst team for this kind of thing has to be Chelsea. Mohamed Salah and Romelu Lukaku were two notable transfer mistakes, but perhaps the biggest mistake the Blues made was letting Kevin De Bruyne go before he blossomed.
Manchester City were the benefactor of Chelsea’s misfortune, signing De Bruyne from Wolfsburg a few years after he left Stamford Bridge, and it must be said that the deal to bring De Bruyne to the Etihad was one of the best in the league. Premier League. .

City could be about to do something very similar with Danny Ings, but this time around, Liverpool may be living to lament their myopia.
In fact, the Reds sold Ings for just £ 20 million, and while that’s not a bad fee, he’s worth a lot more now, and City are considering signing him.
The fact that Pep Guardiola loves him tells you everything you need to know about his talent, but the fact that he scored 21 goals in the Premier League last season is the most faithful indicator of how prolific he is.
During a time when Liverpool’s number nine is coming under a lot of criticism, Ings is being watched by one of the Reds’ biggest rivals, and if he comes in and fires City to more titles in the next few years, Liverpool will. will do. be regretting your decision to let it go even more than you already are.

Chelsea letting De Bruyne go seemed like a mistake when he was in Wolfsburg, but it was joining City that really underscored the mistake they had made, and while Ings has looked sensational at Southampton, we can’t help but feel ‘It would be even better at City, and it would surely be an equally bitter pill for Liverpool.
Ings is not a player of the same quality as De Bruyne, but given Liverpool’s current hitting problems they could live to regret losing him in the same way that Chelsea must be kicking themselves for De Bruyne.
