Exclusive: Napoli are pushing hard to bring Kevin De Bruyne to Serie A | OneFootball

Although he remains an important player for Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne will leave the club at the end of this season. Where De Bruyne signs for next season and beyond has dominated the headlines of late. Jeff Carlisle has reported for ESPN that MLS side Chicago Fire have begun talks with De Bruyne over a potential move to the United States. But now another suitor has emerged to secure De Bruyne’s services. Esteemed Kompany has learned that Serie A leaders Napoli are making a move to bring the Manchester City legend to Serie A.

Napoli are preparing an offer to sign Kevin De Bruyne.

It has been revealed by Esteemed Kompany sources that Napoli are prepared to offer Kevin De Bruyne a two-year deal, with an option of a third season to join them. Furthermore, Esteemed Kompany has learned that the Serie A leaders are prepared to offer De Bruyne an annual salary of €6 million per season. Napoli are hoping that the potential to play in the Champions League next season can sway the race to sign De Bruyne in their favour. Esteemed Kompany sources have also revealed that Romelu Lukaku could be key in Napoli’s push to sign De Bruyne. Lastly, Esteemed Kompany has also learned that Napoli’s offer isn’t as lucrative financially as proposals from the Saudi Pro League and the MLS that De Bruyne has received. But the offer to stay in Europe and play at the highest level could be tempting for Kevin De Bruyne.

A move to Serie A may suit Kevin De Bruyne at this stage of his career.

Kevin De Bruyne’s impending departure from Manchester City does represent the end of an era at the club. How Manchester City replace him is one story to monitor. Where De Bruyne plays next season is another.

Perhaps a move to Serie A and Napoli could suit Kevin De Bruyne. The Manchester City legend is entering the twilight of his career. Serie A, while still being a quality league isn’t as physically demanding as the Premier League. Playing in Italy could allow De Bruyne to continue to ply his trade in Europe. He could also play in the Champions League and alongside Belgian international teammate Romelu Lukaku. It’s a move that does make sense for De Bruyne based on these factors. De Bruyne does look to be capable of continuing to play in Europe at the highest level and a move to Napoli would allow him to do that.

Napoli’s interest in signing Kevin De Bruyne is now a story to watch over the coming weeks. It’s a move that does make sense on multiple fronts for the Manchester City legend. It wouldn’t be a major surprise to see De Bruyne line up in Serie A next season based on what Napoli can offer him.
