According to reports, the Manchester City star is now reportedly open to swapping the Etihad for the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Napoli’s lowkey pursuit of de Bruyne
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has been quietly working on this move for over a month.
He even travelled to Manchester to pitch the club’s project directly to De Bruyne. Encouragingly for Napoli, the Belgian didn’t shut the door. Instead, he listened carefully and is said to be seriously considering the move.
While no final decision has been made, De Bruyne is consulting with his family and entourage over his next step after announcing his departure from Manchester City at the end of the season.
He remains cautious, with interest also coming from English clubs. Napoli want full approval from the player before moving forward financially, with an official offer expected next week.
Manchester City plan for de Bruyne exit
De Bruyne’s interest in Serie A has reportedly been shaped by conversations with Belgian teammates Romelu Lukaku and Dries Mertens, who have both played for Napoli. Their positive experiences in Italy have reportedly made a lasting impression.
With his Manchester City contract expiring in June 2025 and no extension planned, a summer exit is certain for de Bruyne.
In response, City are eyeing Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White and Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz as possible replacements.
De Bruyne has registered six goals and eight assists this season despite limited game time due to injury, and if Napoli can pull this off, it may be the most surprising transfer of the summer.
