Kevin De Bruyne: Why Napoli Move Still Hangs in the Balance Despite Strong Links

Kevin De Bruyne’s future remains undecided amid his departure from Manchester City, despite a surprise 25-minute meeting with Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis.

While reports in Italy claim the 33-year-old has already purchased a villa, sources suggest talks are not as advanced as portrayed.

According to The Independent, Napoli, the newly crowned Italian champions, have made the most compelling offer so far, but De Bruyne is carefully weighing his options.

This stems from the managerial uncertainty surrounding the club, especially with rumors that title-winning coach Antonio Conte could return to Juventus.

Before Napoli entered the fray, De Bruyne was close to sealing a move to MLS side Chicago Fire.

However, the midfielder reportedly had second thoughts, concerned that stepping away from top-level European football might be irreversible.

This same reasoning has led him to rule out a move to Saudi Arabia, despite long-standing interest from Al-Ittihad.

Still open to discussions, De Bruyne has not ruled out joining another Premier League or Serie A club.

De Bruyne's recent final appearance for City, saw him come on as a late substitution at Fulham.
