According to the original plan, De Bruyne will undergo medical tests at Villa Stuart clinic in Rome today (June 3), then sign a 2-year contract with Napoli with an option to extend for another 12 months.

Italian press said that the 33-year-old star receives a salary of about 5.5 million euros/year at Napoli, with a 'bribe' for joining coach Antonio Conte's team of 10 million euros.

However, the above plan was postponed, not because De Bruyne changed his mind, but because he wanted to focus on the Belgian team playing the 2026 World Cup qualifiers first and then take care of personal matters.

At this June FIFA Days, Belgium will visit North Macedonia (1:45 a.m. June 7), before hosting Wales three days later.

De Bruyne's signing with Napoli will be completed next week, before he spends his family holiday.

De Bruyne has just ended his 10-year relationship with Man City , where he was an important pillar in Pep Guardiola's winning scheme and achieved resounding success, including his first Champions League title, a spectacular treble, and a record 4 consecutive Premier League titles,...

The Belgian midfielder himself has shown his willingness to stay at Etihad for longer, and has expressed surprise at not receiving an extension offer from Man City.

Speaking about his favorite player, Pep Guardio said it was difficult to find someone to fill the void left by De Duyne, but he also confirmed that he had decided to put an end to the Belgian midfielder's time at the club, because he saw the team needed to move forward.
