Kevin De Bruyne has joined Serie A champions Napoli on a free transfer; De Bruyne confirmed he would be leaving Manchester City after just under 10 years at the club; the 33-year-old left after not being offered a new deal Thursday 12 June 2025 16: 35, UK Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Napoli have confirmed the signing of Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer following his exit from Manchester City at the end of his contract. City announced in April that De Bruyne would be leaving after they decided not to offer the 33-year-old a new deal, with the Belgium international describing it as a "business decision" after 10 trophy-laden years at the club. Sky in Italy have been reporting that the 33-year-old agreed a two-year deal. Napoli will have an option to extend his stay by a further year, too. De Bruyne completed his medical in Rome and met with president Aurelio De Laurentiis. De Bruyne had been linked with a move to MLS teams Inter Miami and Chicago Fire, but has opted for the Serie A champions after being determined to keep playing at the highest level. The midfielder came off the bench during the 2-0 win against Fulham on the last day of the season to make his final appearance for City.
