Kevin De Bruyne's time at Napoli might be over after just one season. Intermediaries for the Belgian midfielder are already sounding out clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, according to sources familiar with the situation. The reason? A debut campaign marred by repeated injuries.
Injury Woes Derail Debut Campaign
De Bruyne arrived at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with high expectations. But the 32-year-old has struggled to stay on the pitch. He's been described as injury-plagued during his first year in Serie A, and the club's patience appears to be wearing thin. Napoli invested heavily in the transfer, but the returns have been limited by fitness issues that kept him out of key matches.
Turkish and Saudi Clubs Circle
Agents representing De Bruyne have started offering him to teams in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The move suggests both player and club are preparing for an early exit. Turkish clubs, long known for attracting aging stars, could offer a fresh start. Saudi Arabian sides, flush with cash from the country's sports investment drive, are also in the mix. No formal offers have been made public yet, but the groundwork is being laid.
Napoli have not commented on the rumors. But the presence of intermediaries shopping the player around is a strong signal that the club is open to letting him go. De Bruyne's contract still has time to run, but a summer departure now looks increasingly likely. The question is where he'll land — and whether he can stay healthy long enough to make an impact at his next stop.
