According to the latest update from renowned Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà, the future of Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is becoming increasingly clear. Pedullà reports that De Bruyne’s wife, Michèle Lacroix, recently visited Naples to inspect local housing and living conditions. Meanwhile, Napoli have made a formal offer to De Bruyne in the form of a “2+1” contract, underlining their strong desire to bring him in.

While Napoli are currently focused on pushing for what would be the club’s fourth Serie A title, the management has already begun planning for the upcoming summer transfer window. De Bruyne is reportedly one of their top priorities. Earlier reports, including those from respected journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, indicated that Napoli are preparing to sign De Bruyne on a free transfer, as his contract with Manchester City nears its expiration. The Belgian midfielder is said to prefer staying in Europe to continue his career.

Pedullà further emphasized that among all potential targets, De Bruyne is the player Napoli value most highly. Notably, De Bruyne’s wife was seen last week in Naples visiting several apartments — a move widely interpreted as a sign of the player’s interest in joining the club. Napoli have expressed their sincerity with a structured contract offer, and the situation is expected to develop in the coming weeks.
