Kevin De Bruyne has completed a free transfer to Napoli, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career after a decade at Manchester City.
The 33-year-old midfield maestro had announced in April that he would be leaving City at the end of the season, with his contract expiring in June. Now, Kevin De Bruyne officially begins his journey in Serie A, signing with Napoli—the current Italian champions.
Under new manager Antonio Conte, Napoli have made Kevin De Bruyne’s signing a priority this summer, aiming to boost creativity in the squad. The departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG and a failed bid for Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho left a void that De Bruyne is expected to fill with his world-class playmaking abilities.
Kevin De Bruyne brings a wealth of experience and proven quality, having won multiple Premier League titles and consistently performing at the highest level. Napoli, who have secured two of the last three Serie A titles, continue to rely on former Premier League talent to maintain their dominance. This season’s title win was driven by strong performances from Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay—De Bruyne now joins that elite group.
With Kevin De Bruyne in their ranks, Napoli aim to extend their domestic success and make a deep run in European competitions.
