Kevin De Bruyne’s future has become one of the most talked about topics in football with the Belgian playmaker set to leave Manchester City at the end of the season.

De Bruyne has enjoyed a great playing career at City, forming part of a very successful team in his 10 years at the Etihad Stadium, where he has won six Premier League titles and Champions League among many other cups.

De Bruyne’s wife Michel Lacroix has been spotted in Napoli where she is reported to be house-hunting as per the Dailymail, a move that leaves fans feeling he has decided to join Antonio Conte’s team.

Napoli is where his close friend Romelu Lukaku plays and he could reunite with him while another Belgian Dries Martens also lives there having enjoyed a nine-year playing career at the club, something that might prove more attractive to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne and Lacroix also got married in Napoli in 2017 which shows how highly the couple rate the city.

The midfielder has expressed his desire to continue playing at a higher level, having rejected offers to move to Saudi Arabia or United States, and is also putting his family first when it comes to the choice of his next club.

“I still feel like I can play at a good level, but after I'll have to make a decision once I really know a little bit more.”
