Kevin De Bruyne, 33, is poised to leave Manchester City after the club decided not to renew his contract, which expires at the end of June.
Since joining City in 2015 for a355 million, De Bruyne has been instrumental in the club's success, helping secure six Premier League titles and a Champions League victory in 2023.
"De Bruyne was told last month that he would not be offered a new deal," sources confirmed, marking the end of an era at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite interest from Premier League and MLS clubs, De Bruyne has reportedly chosen to accept an offer from Napoli, the newly crowned Serie A champions.
"Napoli sealed the Italian title on Friday with a 2-0 win at home," and sources indicate that formal negotiations will commence only after the Premier League season concludes.
The Belgian midfielder is expected to join his compatriot at Napoli's Diego Maradona Stadium, with the move motivated by both football ambitions and family considerations.
"De Bruyne is almost certain to join Belgium teammate at the Diego Maradona Stadium," sources added.
This transfer would mark a significant chapter in De Bruyne's career, transitioning from a dominant Premier League presence to a key figure in Italy's top flight, aligning with a club on the rise.
The final confirmation awaits the end of City's season, but the football world anticipates the Belgian star's arrival in Naples.
