Manchester City captain Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly set to complete a move to his new club within the next two weeks.
Kevin De Bruyne is set to advance talks with Napoli next week about joining the newly crowned Serie A champions as a free agent, choosing to stay in Europe over a move to the MLS.
The 33-year-old Belgian midfielder will play his final game for Manchester City against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, as the club decided not to extend his contract, which ends in June.

Despite his key role in securing six Premier League titles and a 2023 Champions League trophy since joining from VfL Wolfsburg for £55 million in 2015, De Bruyne was informed last month that no new deal would be offered.
Although De Bruyne expressed a desire to stay with City, interest came from clubs in the Premier League, Germany, and MLS, with Chicago Fire among the suitors.
Sources now say he is set to agree a deal with Napoli, who clinched the Italian title with a 2-0 win over Cagliari on Friday.
De Bruyne is now set to join his Belgium teammate Romelu Lukaku at the Diego Maradona Stadium, driven by football and family considerations. Negotiations are expected to progress smoothly and should be concluded within the next two weeks.
