Kevin De Bruyne is officially a Napoli player. The Belgian star was greeted with great enthusiasm upon his arrival in Rome, where over a hundred Napoli supporters gathered at Villa Stuart this morning to welcome him. The scenes, reminiscent of the excitement for Romelu Lukaku last year—but even more intense—reflected the fans’ immense passion for the club’s marquee summer signing.
After two and a half hours of medical tests, De Bruyne exited discreetly through a back entrance, avoiding the crowd at the main gate. His father spoke briefly to reporters, stating, “He still wants to play at the highest level”, shedding light on the motivations behind the transfer.
The final step took place at the Filmauro offices of president Aurelio De Laurentiis, where the Belgian signed his contract. The official confirmation came soon after via a post on X from the Napoli president: “Benvenuto Kevin!”
