Kevin De Bruyne is excited to start his new chapter at Napoli, citing the opportunity to play with compatriot Romelu Lukaku and adapt to a new challenge in Italy.

Kevin De Bruyne has expressed his enthusiasm for his new role at Napoli, saying he’s “raring to go” after joining the Serie A champions on a free transfer last month. 

The Belgian midfielder ended his decade-long spell at Manchester City and is looking forward to a fresh start in Italy. De Bruyne cited the prospect of playing in a new league and the opportunity to work with Napoli’s coaching staff as major factors in his decision.

De Bruyne’s move to Napoli was influenced by the presence of his compatriot Romelu Lukaku, who he’s known since they were 13 years old.

Lukaku had expressed his enthusiasm for De Bruyne’s arrival, and the two players have a close relationship. De Bruyne appreciated Lukaku’s willingness to help him settle into the team and translate for him when needed.

The 34-year-old midfielder is eager to learn from his new teammates and adapt to Antonio Conte’s playing style. De Bruyne believes that Napoli’s squad is still improving, and he’s hoping to contribute to the team’s growth. He’s also excited about the prospect of playing in the Serie A and experiencing a new competition.

De Bruyne’s decision to leave the Premier League after a long stint was driven by his desire for a new challenge. He’s done everything he set out to achieve in England and feels that it’s time for a change.

As De Bruyne settles into his new role, he’ll be looking to make an immediate impact on the team.

Napoli’s upcoming fixture against Sassuolo on August 13th will be a crucial test for the team, and De Bruyne will be eager to showcase his skills. With Lukaku by his side, De Bruyne feels more comfortable and confident about his ability to adapt to the team.
