Kevin De Bruyne’s future is stirring headlines across Europe, and the latest twist has only fueled speculation.
De Bruyne’s Wife Visits Naples as Napoli Prepare Contract Offer for Man City Star
Reports from Italy reveal that the Manchester City maestro’s wife recently visited Naples — a move that comes just as Napoli are preparing a formal contract offer for the Belgian star.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli are ready to offer De Bruyne a two-year deal that would keep him at the club until he turns 36.
With his contract at City set to expire at the end of the 2024-25 season, the midfielder’s next move has become one of the most talked-about topics in football circles.
While De Bruyne has long been linked with a switch to MLS side Inter Miami, sources suggest the 33-year-old remains eager to continue competing at the highest level in Europe.
Napoli believe they can offer him exactly that. The club’s confirmed place in next season’s Champions League, coupled with the promise of a key role in the team, are central to their pitch.
Adding to the intrigue, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna reportedly traveled to Manchester this week to meet De Bruyne personally — a sign of how serious the Italian giants are in their pursuit.
But Napoli face stiff competition. De Bruyne’s current wages at City, said to be around €23 million per season, will be tough for any European club to match.
While Napoli are willing to make a competitive offer, it’s widely understood the Belgian will need to accept a pay cut if he wants to remain in Europe.
Meanwhile, big-money offers from Saudi Arabian clubs remain on the table, keeping the door open to a lucrative final chapter.
De Bruyne has spent a glittering decade at Manchester City, winning six Premier League titles and becoming one of the best midfielders of his generation.
As his wife takes in the sights of Naples, the football world watches closely — wondering if a new chapter in southern Italy awaits one of Europe’s finest.
