De Bruyne Joins Napoli on Free Transfer

Kevin De Bruyne will leave Manchester City on a free transfer after the club chose not to extend his contract, ending a decade in which he won six Premier League titles, a Champions League, and contributed over 100 goals and nearly 180 assists in 422 appearances. The 33-year-old Belgian midfielder is set to sign a two-year deal with Italian champions Napoli, with an option for a third year. His transfer is expected to be finalized this week following a medical in Naples. The move comes as De Bruyne and his family prepare to relocate, having already scouted homes and schools in the city. Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte, see De Bruyne as a key acquisition as they aim to defend their Serie A title. The transfer does not involve a fee because De Bruyne's contract with City expires June 30.
