Will Lukaku bring De Bruyne to Napoli?

Striker Romelu Lukaku was ambiguous when asked about the possibility of Kevin De Bruyne joining Napoli this summer.

Lukaku wants to reunite with De Bruyne.

“I have mixed emotions. I am emotional for the team and my teammates. We worked hard and the important thing is that we succeeded,” Lukaku told DAZN after Napoli’s 2-0 win over Cagliari in the final round of Serie A.

Asked if he had spoken to Kevin De Bruyne about a move to Napoli, Lukaku simply smiled and replied: “No comment.” According to The Times , Napoli are now targeting De Bruyne, after the Belgian midfielder’s contract with Manchester City expires in June.

With both being teammates on the Belgian national team, Italian media believe that Lukaku is one of the important factors in convincing De Bruyne to join Napoli.

Previously, Sky Sports said the Belgian midfielder was ready for a new life in Napoli and contributed to speeding up the negotiations.

Family played a big part in De Bruyne's decision. De Bruyne's wife, Michele Lacroix, also visited the Italian city to get a feel for the new home.

After the FA Cup final on May 18, De Bruyne shared about the future: "I want to play top football, wherever it is. I'm not sure if I'll 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.
