With the acquisition of Kevin De Bruyne, a midfielder from Belgium, Napoli has made a significant acquisition. Although specifics are still unknown, the longtime Manchester City mainstay has agreed to a deal with the Italian team.
Following the season, De Bruyne left City, where he had spent the previous decade, and under coach Pep Guardiola, the Belgian international rose to become one of the world’s top midfielders.
He assisted Manchester in winning the FA Cup twice, the Premier League six times, and the Champions League winners’ trophy.
According to experts, the Belgian would be a fantastic fit for Napoli’s 4-3-3 formation, which they employed in the second part of the previous season to win their fourth Italian championship ever.
Conte’s preferred 3-5-2 formation, in which De Bruyne would perform a role akin to Christian Eriksen’s at Inter, is another option for deploying the former Manchester City midfielder.
In 422 games, De Bruyne scored 108 goals and provided 177 assists for the Citizens. With Manchester City, he has also amassed numerous accolades, including six Premier League titles, five League Cups, two FA Cups, three English Super Cups, and a Champions League victory.
De Bruyne previously wore the jerseys of Werder, Genk, Wolfsburg, and Chelsea.
