Kevin De Bruyne Joins Napoli After a Decade with Manchester City
Kevin De Bruyne has officially joined Napoli following his departure from Manchester City, marking a major signing for the reigning Serie A champions. The Belgian midfielder was unveiled by Napoli on June 12, 2025, after completing a free transfer. He underwent a medical earlier in the day and has signed a two-year contract with the option of a one-year extension.
De Bruyne will earn a reported salary of €6 million per season, highlighting Napoli’s intent to maintain their dominance in Italian football. His arrival adds significant experience and playmaking quality to a squad already boosted by their recent title win under the leadership of Antonio Conte. The signing is seen as a strategic move to reinforce the team for both domestic and European competitions.
Napoli's victory in the 2024-25 Serie A season ended Inter Milan’s pursuit of the title and confirmed their resurgence as a top-tier club. Bringing in a world-class player like De Bruyne sends a strong message about their ambitions moving forward. The midfielder’s tactical intelligence and creativity are expected to be key assets in sustaining their momentum.
During his decade at Manchester City, De Bruyne became one of the most decorated players in club history, collecting 16 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League crown. Now at 33, he embarks on a new chapter in Serie A, where his leadership and elite skill set will likely play a central role in Napoli’s continued success.
