Kevin De Bruyne officially joins Napoli on free transfer

Kevin De Bruyne has officially joined Napoli on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Manchester City. The announcement was made through the club’s official social media on Thursday evening.

“Kevin proudly becomes one of us,” stated Napoli’s official announcement.

The Belgian midfielder has signed a two-year contract with a one-season extension option with I Partenopei — making it one of the biggest transfers of this summer.

De Bruyne‘s arrival in Naples opens up the possibility of an intriguing partnership with Scott McTominay in midfield — two players who were previously rivals in Manchester derbies while representing City and United.
