Kevin De Bruyne is set to leave Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of the season, and according to The Times, Napoli have emerged as strong contenders for his signature. The Italian club, managed by Antonio Conte and vying for the Serie A title, have already made contact to express their interest. A move to Naples would allow the 33-year-old Belgian to remain in elite European competition, as Napoli have secured Champions League qualification for next season.
But they face stiff competition. Liverpool have reportedly launched a surprise attempt to sign the midfielder, which would keep him in the Premier League. Meanwhile, MLS side Chicago Fire are also in the race, offering De Bruyne a chance to experience a new challenge in the United States.
Earlier in April, De Bruyne confirmed his departure from the Etihad after a glittering spell that saw him score 72 goals and provide 119 assists, firmly establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s all-time great midfielders.
Napoli currently lead Serie A by three points with three matches remaining, putting Conte on course for his fifth Italian league title after successful stints with Juventus and Inter. As De Bruyne prepares for his final games in a City shirt, his farewell tour continues this weekend against Southampton.
