In a surprising turn of events, Manchester City’s midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly set to join Serie A giants Napoli on a free transfer for the 2025-26 season. With his contract at the Etihad Stadium expiring at the end of the current campaign, the Belgian international has been the subject of intense speculation regarding his next destination.

While lucrative offers from the Saudi league were on the table, it appears De Bruyne’s preference is to remain in European football. According to Belgian football journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the 33-year-old has given his “green light” to a move to Napoli and has instructed his representatives to finalize negotiations before he goes on his summer holidays.

The potential acquisition of a player of De Bruyne’s caliber on a free transfer would be a significant coup for Napoli. His experience, vision, and world-class passing ability would undoubtedly bolster their squad. The journalist indicates that De Bruyne has a particular interest in the Napoli scenario.

Sacha Tavolieri is a journalist known for his coverage of Belgian football and often provides transfer updates. While his track record is generally reliable within the Belgian football sphere, his reporting on international transfers should be viewed with cautious optimism until official confirmation from the clubs or player.

Should this move materialize, De Bruyne would join a Napoli side looking to rebuild and compete at the highest level in Serie A and potentially in European competitions. The opportunity to play in Italy and experience a new footballing culture could also be appealing to the veteran midfielder.

Negotiations are now expected to intensify as De Bruyne’s representatives work to conclude a deal with the Neapolitan club in the coming weeks. Football fans around the world will be keenly watching to see if this sensational free transfer comes to fruition.
