Kevin De Bruyne was let go by Manchester City at the end of the 2024/25 season – and the 33-year-old midfielder has already found a new club, with a medical booked.
Kevin De Bruyne is poised to join Napoli on a two-year contract after agreeing terms with the Italian champions. De Bruyne left Manchester City as a free agent after the Premier League club decided not to offer him a new deal.
It was confirmed in early April that the Belgium international would leave City at the end of the season. That has left the 33-year-old plenty of time to decide his next step, with rumoured interest from other Premier League sides and MLS clubs.
But Napoli stepped forward quickly to offer him another pathway and everything is now in place for De Bruyne to join the club. After concluding international duty by scoring a dramatic winner for Belgium in their 4-3 victory against Wales on Monday, De Bruyne got his personal future sorted.
Sky Sports Italy report that he has agreed a two-year contract with Napoli, who will also have an option to extend it, should things go to plan. He will fly to Naples on Thursday to undergo his medical and has already bought a house for his family to move into, according to club president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
