Napoli confirm De Bruyne deal after Man City exit

Kevin De Bruyne's signing with Napoli could significantly influence sports betting outcomes, as his presence may enhance Napoli's chances of winning the Serie A title or achieving a strong performance in European competitions. Punters might look to place wagers on Napoli’s success in the upcoming season or on De Bruyne's individual performances.

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.

De Bruyne scored four goals and added seven assists across his 28 appearances in the Premier League last season.
