Kevin De Bruyne agrees two-year deal with Napoli as Man City icon opts to join Scott McTominay & Co in Serie A instead of heading to MLS

The Belgium international has now given the green light to a move to Italy and is set to jet out for a medical with Napoli, according toFabrizio Romano. De Bruyne will sign a two-year deal, with an option for an extra year, following his departure from Manchester City.

De Bruyne had attracted interest from teams in MLS but has opted to continue his career in Europe with Napoli. His arrival will be a big boost to the club following their stunning Serie A title win last season and he will link up with former Manchester United midfielder McTominay at the Italian side. The Scot enjoyed a brilliant campaign in 2024-25 and played a key role in Napoli's title success, scoring 12 league goals.

During his time at Manchester City, De Bruyne provided the most assists in Europe's top five leagues across all competitions: 170 in 422 appearances.

De Bruyne is said to have already bought a house in Naples and will now complete his free transfer to Antonio Conte's side. The 33-year-old will enjoy a summer break before linking up with his new team-mates for the start of their Serie A title defence.
