Kevin De Bruyne could be heading for a high-profile switch this summer, with both Liverpool and Napoli keen on signing the Manchester City legend on a free transfer. With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, the 33-year-old midfielder is attracting serious interest across Europe.

Liverpool is reportedly preparing a record-breaking transfer window and have made an offer to De Bruyne as part of their ambitious summer rebuild. The Reds are determined to back their manager with the biggest budget in the club’s history, and De Bruyne’s experience and creativity are seen as a key addition to their midfield.

Meanwhile, Serie A side Napoli are also pushing hard to secure the Belgian international. The Italian club has already made contact with De Bruyne's camp, hoping to lure him with the prospect of staying in Europe and linking up with his Belgium teammate Romelu Lukaku.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte is said to be heavily involved in the planning for next season, despite still competing for the Serie A title. Aston Villa have also discussed De Bruyne internally, although no formal move has been made. Premier League interest remains strong, particularly given the midfielder’s desire to stay close to his family and maintain a balanced home life factors that could play a significant role in his decision.

Kevin De Bruyne's career with Manchester City

De Bruyne leaves behind a remarkable legacy at Manchester City, where he won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five Carabao Cups, and a Champions League trophy. He was also instrumental in City's 2022–23 treble-winning campaign under Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola described it as a sad day to see De Bruyne's exit confirmed and said he "is one of the greatest" players the Premier League has ever seen.

As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on whether De Bruyne chooses a fresh challenge in Italy with Napoli or stays in the Premier League with a move to Liverpool.
