The Belgian announced he would leave Man City after nine seasons at the club and while his next destination has not yet been confirmed, reports suggest he could be set for a move to Italy.

2024/25 Serie A champions Napoli have reportedly expressed serious interest in signing the 33-year-old. According to journalist  Matteo Moretto, De Bruyne's lawyers were set to meet with club officials in Naples to finalise the deal, Goal reported.

Reports suggest that the former Chelsea man will sign a three-year deal with Napoli worth €27 million (R549 million).

De Bruyne's creative absence in Man City's midfield will be felt next season and the club will no doubt look to sign a creative midfielder who can, at the very least, attempt to fill the number 17's boots.

Reports from Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester City's Director of Football, Hugo Viana, wants to sign a new midfielder for next season. After pulling out of the race to sign Florian Wirtz, we take a look at three midfielders who could sign for Guardiola's side next season.

Among the list of targets include Nottingham Forest's Premier League Player of the Season nominee Morgan Gibbs-White.

The former Wolves man scored seven goals and added 10 assists as he helped Nottingham Forest to a 7th-placed finish.
