De Bruyne's contract with Manchester City expires at the end of the season, and he announced in April that he would depart the club after a decade. Napoli are said to be making a significant push to sign him for next season.

Napoli's interest in Kevin De Bruyne is also driven by the potential to leverage his close relationship with Romelu Lukaku, should the striker remain with the club. This connection could help persuade De Bruyne to join Napoli.

However, De Bruyne is also weighing an offer from Liverpool, where he could build on his Premier League experience despite the rivalry with Manchester City.

During his time at Manchester City since 2015, Kevin De Bruyne has made 418 competitive appearances, scoring 108 goals and providing 177 assists. His trophy haul with the club includes six Premier League titles, five League Cups, two FA Cups, and the 2023 Champions League triumph.

Class is permanent.
