Sky Sport said the Belgian midfielder is ready for a new life in Napoli and has helped speed up negotiations. Family played an important role in De Bruyne's decision. De Bruyne's wife, Michele Lacroix, has also visited the Italian city to learn about the new home.

After the FA Cup final on May 18, De Bruyne shared about the future: "I want to play beautiful football, no matter where. I'm not sure if I will stay in the Premier League or not. My current decision depends on my family."

However, De Bruyne and Napoli have not yet reached a personal agreement. Everything depends on Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis. The Belgian midfielder receives a very high salary at Man City (about 400,000 pounds/week). If he goes to Napoli, he may have to take a significant pay cut.

De Bruyne will leave Man City when his contract expires on June 30. He also did not participate in the FIFA Club World Cup to avoid the risk of injury.

The arrival of a superstar like De Bruyne would be a huge boost for Napoli, who have just won the Serie A title for the second time in three years. Antonio Conte's squad includes many players who have played in the Premier League, such as Scott McTominay, Romelu Lukaku and Billy Gilmour.

In the 2024/25 season, De Bruyne scored 6 goals and contributed 7 assists for Man City in all competitions.

Marmoush's masterpiece helps Man City get closer to a ticket to the Champions League. In the early morning of May 21, Man City defeated Bournemouth 3-1 at home, thereby touching a ticket to the Champions League next season.
