Kevin De Bruyne Joins Napoli After a Decade at Manchester City
Napoli have pulled off one of the biggest surprises of the summer by signing Belgian midfield legend Kevin De Bruyne on a two-year deal.
The move signals the end of an era for the 32-year-old, who spent ten remarkable seasons at Manchester City—leaving behind a legacy few can match. Known for his vision, precision, and leadership, De Bruyne played a key role in City’s rise to the top under Pep Guardiola.
His stats speak volumes: 422 appearances, 108 goals, and a jaw-dropping 177 assists. And when it comes to silverware, his cabinet is stacked—six Premier League titles, five League Cups, two FA Cups, three English Super Cups, and the UEFA Champions League.
Now, he’s ready for a new challenge in Naples.
De Bruyne joins a Napoli side riding high after their recent Serie A triumph. With a midfield built for creativity, the Belgian playmaker is expected to slot right into their 4-3-3 setup. Some insiders even predict that new manager Antonio Conte could shift to a 3-5-2 formation to unlock De Bruyne’s full potential—similar to the way he once used Christian Eriksen at Inter Milan.
Having previously suited up for Chelsea, Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen, and Genk, De Bruyne brings experience and class that Napoli will be counting on as they aim for another domestic title and a strong run in Europe.
All eyes are now on how this midfield master will light up Serie A.
