Kevin de Bruyne is leaving Manchester City – the likelihood of a transfer to Napoli is high
The current season may be remembered for significant changes in European football. One of them will be the departure of Kevin de Bruyne, the long-time leader and playmaker of Manchester City. The club officially announced this.
A decade-long history comes to an end
De Bruyne, who joined the team in 2015, a year before Josep Guardiola became the head coach of City, has become one of the most important players in the club's history. Due to his playmaking ability, intellectual game, and leadership skills, the "Citizens" have become the most stable team in Europe over the last decade.
However, in the summer of 2025, when he turns 34, Kevin has decided to open a new chapter in his career.
Offers from around the world – USA, Saudi Arabia, Europe...
De Bruyne is currently receiving several major offers. These include:
- Financially lucrative contracts from the US MLS league,
- High-paying offers from Saudi Arabian clubs,
- and of course, interest from the strongest teams in Europe.
At the same time, reports have emerged that several teams in the English Premier League also wish to negotiate with him. However, Transfer News Live has reported that Kevin de Bruyne has completely rejected the option of moving to rival teams in England.
Center of attention – Napoli
Currently, it is said that de Bruyne is looking for a team, and the most likely destination is Napoli in Italy's Serie A. The Neapolitans have also made their first official statement on this, confirming that contact has been established with the player.
If this transfer takes place, it will be a serious boost and prestige not only for Napoli but for the entire Serie A. Because de Bruyne still remains a world-class playmaker.
Kevin de Bruyne's career at City is remembered for 5 Premier League championships, 2 Cups, 5 League Cups, and, most importantly, the victory in the 2023 UEFA Champions League.
