De Bruyne transfer storm: Naples and Chicago flames battle

Recommended Network May 29: De Bruyne's transfer turmoil has caused new twists and turns, and many clubs have extended olive branches

De Bruyne is still deciding his future, mainly weighing the trade-offs between Naples and Chicago, but he has not ruled out the possibility of transferring to other Premier League clubs.

33-year-old De Bruyne had a 25-minute meeting with Naples boss De Laurentis, but it was understood that negotiations between the two sides were not going as smoothly as Italian media reported, who had said De Laurentis had bought a villa in Italy.

Although the new Serie A champion Napoli is currently offering the most attractive conditions, De Bruyne is still considering many factors, including the coaching situation in Napoli. There is a feeling in the Italian Football League that championship coach Conte may return to Juventus.

Naples has at least greatly changed the situation compared to one month ago. Before Naples showed interest, De Bruyne had almost agreed to join the Chicago Flames in the Major League Soccer League. However, he was already a little regretful at the time because he felt that once he left the top European football stadium, he might not be able to come back.

This is also why he is unlikely to go to Saudi Arabia at the moment, although clubs such as Saudi Arabia's Altihad have always been interested in him.

Although Naples is the most likely destination of many serious offers currently offered, De Bruyne is willing to explore other options. The Belgian player does not exclude another Premier League club or Serie A club.

De Bruyne, as a substitute for Manchester City, completed his 421st appearance at City in his last Premier League match against Fulham in the season, which is likely to be his last game for Manchester City. He is still likely to represent Manchester City in this summer’s Club World Cup, but he is not expected to participate in the event in the United States.
