Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly on the brink of joining Napoli in what could be one of the most talked-about moves of the summer.
The Manchester City legend, fresh off a decade of brilliance at the Etihad, is now preparing for a fresh challenge in Serie A.
The 33-year-old midfielder has apparently reached full agreement with Napoli, and final documents are set to be exchanged this weekend.

As reported by several sources in Italy (via Tuttomercatoweb), De Bruyne will sign a two-year deal with the option for a third, earning around €5.5 million per year along with a €10 million signing bonus.
After a long and successful run in England — where he stitched passes like a tailor on fire — KDB is now packing his bags for the land of pizza, passion, and proper defending.

When can we expect Kevin De Bruyne’s Napoli medical?
Napoli are wasting no time. Medical checks for De Bruyne are expected to be scheduled soon, possibly on Monday, June 2.
However, if timing doesn’t work due to his commitments with Belgium’s national team, they may take place shortly after.
The club is eager to complete the transfer before the international break begins, hoping to avoid late drama — or a surprise interception from another club. There’s just one final detail to sort: image rights. Once that’s cleared, it’s full steam ahead.
Antonio Conte, who recently confirmed he’s staying on as Napoli boss, will be thrilled to land such a high-profile signing.
De Bruyne will become Napoli’s first major acquisition of the summer, arriving as a free agent — but definitely not a free lunch.
After lifting four Premier League titles, countless assists, and hearts, De Bruyne’s move to Napoli signals the start of a bold new era — maybe with a little “KDB magic” under Vesuvius.
