May 11th According to the "Roman Sports" report, in addition to efforts to introduce De Bruyne, Napoli is also interested in Liverpool striker Nunez and other players.

Naples currently leads the Serie A with a 3-point advantage and has great hope of winning the championship. In order to deal with the multi-line battle next season, Naples is preparing to introduce some strong aids this summer. Naples has contacted Manchester City midfielder De Bruyne, and De Bruyne's wife Michel recently came to Naples for field visits and wanted to find a suitable place to live, which led to the exposure of the original secret negotiations between the two sides.

In fact, the De Bruyne and his wife were very familiar with Naples. During their past time at Mertens, De Bruyne visited Naples many times. It is worth mentioning that De Bruyne and Michelle also held their wedding in 2017 on the Sorrento Peninsula in southern Italy. Many years later, the two may come to live in Naples again. Naples plans to offer De Bruyne a two-year contract and also has a high signing fee.

De Bruyne's annual salary at Manchester City this season is about 23 million euros, but except for going to Saudi Arabia, other potential next companies cannot offer him such a high salary, so if De Bruyne wants to stay in European football, he must accept a salary cut. For De Bruyne, the ambition of the new team and the local lifestyle will be the key factors in his choice of the next home, and Naples has advantages in both. Napoli has qualified for the Champions League next season, and the De Bruyne and his wife are also very adaptable to Napoli's life. De Bruyne's wife will examine more details next.

The Roman Sports said that Naples sports director Manner has gone to Manchester, England to have an interview with De Bruyne. In addition, De Bruyne's Belgian national teammate Lukaku is currently playing in Naples. The two have a good relationship and Lukaku also plays an important role in this transfer. The next few days will be decisive and De Bruyne needs to give an answer as soon as possible.

And Naples is also paying attention to some other potential signing targets and working with coach Conte to formulate a transfer plan this summer. On the front line, Naples has interest in Liverpool striker Nunez. The 25-year-old Uruguayan striker has made 44 appearances at Liverpool this season but has only scored 7 goals. And as Liverpool coach Slot's technical requirements for forward players are getting higher and higher, Nunez is no longer suitable. However, Nunes, who is active on the court, is still very suitable for Napoli's tactical requirements, and Conte believes Nunes can help the team open up the offensive space.

Canadian forward Jonathan David is also an interested player in Napoli. His contract with Lille expires this summer. Napoli will not need to transfer fees if he signs. In addition, 21-year-old Porto forward Omoro Dion and Paris Saint-Germain's South Korean player Lee Gang-in are also on the Naples's signing list.
