Belgian midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne has officially joined Italian giants Napoli on a free transfer, bringing an end to his illustrious spell at Manchester City.
The 33-year-old completed his medical at Villa Stuart in Rome and was unveiled on Wednesday afternoon by Napoli, who welcomed him with the tagline: “King Kev is here.” De Bruyne signed a two-year deal with an option for a third, marking a major coup for the Serie A champions.
After nearly a decade of dominance in the Premier League, De Bruyne leaves City with an unmatched legacy:
- 422 appearances
- 108 goals
- Six Premier League titles
- One Champions League trophy
- And a record 177 assists in England’s top flight.
At Napoli, De Bruyne is set to reunite with fellow Belgian Romelu Lukaku and form a powerful midfield trio alongside Scott McTominay, under the leadership of new manager Antonio Conte.
His arrival signals Napoli’s serious intent to not only defend their domestic title but also push deep into the UEFA Champions League.
Napoli fans erupted with excitement as news of the deal broke, hailing the move as one of the most ambitious in the club’s history. For De Bruyne, it’s a new chapter in a decorated career, as he brings his world-class vision and leadership to Serie A.
