In a massive development for Serie A champions Napoli, Kevin De Bruyne has reportedly just landed in Rome and is set to undergo medical tests as he prepares to become a new player for the club.
This highly anticipated move sees the Manchester City icon join Napoli as a free agent after his contract at the Etihad Stadium expired. De Bruyne, 33, had reportedly agreed a two-year deal with Napoli, with an option for a third, turning down interest from MLS clubs to continue his career at the top level in Europe.
His arrival is a monumental statement of intent from Napoli, who are building a formidable squad under Antonio Conte.
De Bruyne will bring unparalleled creativity, vision, and experience to the midfield, significantly bolstering their chances of defending the Serie A title and making a deep run in the Champions League.
Reports suggest that De Bruyne had already given his “green light” to join Napoli, and his family has reportedly already found a house in Naples.
The completion of his medical and the formal signing of his contract are the final steps before an official announcement.
De Bruyne leaves Manchester City as a club legend, having won numerous trophies including multiple Premier League titles and the Champions League during his decade at the club.
His arrival in Naples will undoubtedly send shockwaves through Italian football and beyond.
