Kevin De Bruyne set for SHOCK Napoli exit as European giants plot January swoop

Kevin De Bruyne set for SHOCK Napoli exit as European giants plot January swoop

Kevin De Bruyne may be on the verge of leaving Napoli this winter due to growing tensions within the team. The Belgian midfielder has reportedly become a source of discord, creating an increasingly hostile atmosphere behind the scenes. Despite an impressive individual performance, collecting four goals in 11 Serie A matches, his future at the Italian club appears increasingly precarious.

Napoli's hierarchy now face a critical decision, weighing the potential benefits of an early exit against his on-field contributions. Mutual contract termination is being considered, a move that would allow both the player and the club to move forward without a protracted transfer saga. By removing De Bruyne from the wage bill, Napoli could save approximately €3 million in salary costs.

This financial relief, coupled with their desire to mend relations within the squad, makes an early separation mutually advantageous. Dutch club PSV Eindhoven has already shown interest in De Bruyne, eyeing a January transfer to strengthen their midfield for the remainder of the season.
