Reports in Italy claim that Kevin De Bruyne has given his approval for a potential transfer to Napoli during the summer transfer window, after a 10-year spell in the Premier League with Manchester City. 

De Bruyne will be leaving Manchester City at the end of his City contract in June, and reports over the last few weeks suggest that he is now close to completing a move to Serie A title-hopefuls Napoli on a free transfer.

De Bruyne’s personal and family life has been a key part of the decision-making process, and recent reports claim that he is satisfied his personal demands will be met in Naples. His wife has recently visited the city, further indicating the couple’s interest in making the move.

While De Bruyne has given his total approval for the transfer, there is still no final agreement in place on personal terms. According to Sky Sport Italia, the ball is now in the court of Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis, who will decide whether to finalize the deal.

The potential transfer would mark a significant move for De Bruyne, who has enjoyed a successful stint with Manchester City, winning multiple titles including the Premier League and Champions League.

Napoli’s ambition and recent success in the Serie A would likely appeal to De Bruyne, who is looking for a new challenge in his career. With De Bruyne’s talent and experience, Napoli would undoubtedly be strengthened by his arrival.
