De Bruyne's offer makes it difficult for MU

If they buy Grealish, Napoli will end their interest in Garnacho.

According to British media, coach Conte asked De Bruyne about Jack Grealish - the player who will almost certainly leave the Etihad Stadium after being left out of Man City's squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

De Bruyne joined Napoli earlier this month and hopes his positive recommendations will convince Conte to bring Grealish to Italy. Man City are willing to sell Grealish at a loss compared to the £100m they paid Aston Villa four years ago.

Grealish has had to take a pay cut, as Napoli can only pay him more than half of his £300,000-a-week Man City salary. Grealish is said to be willing to accept the chance to return to the England squad and play at the 2026 World Cup. Everton also want Grealish as a big-money signing, but Napoli's appeal is stronger.

Napoli have around £45m to spend on either Grealish or Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, but will only buy one. De Bruyne's move puts Manchester United in a difficult position as the Old Trafford club have yet to find a partner to buy Garnacho outright.

If the deal to sign Grealish is successful, Conte's team could start their Serie A title defence campaign with six Premier League stars in their squad.

Former Manchester United star Scott McTominay won Serie A Player of the Year last season and partnered former Chelsea and Brighton player Billy Gilmour in midfield. Another former Manchester United star Romelu Lukaku also plays for Napoli. Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing joined Napoli in January 2025 and could sign a long-term deal.

Man City are willing to let Grealish leave on loan, especially if Napoli commit to buying him after one season.
