Napoli could part ways with Kevin De Bruyne in January

Published on: 14 November 2026

Napoli are open to the possibility of Kevin De Bruyne leaving the club during the January transfer window, with neither the Belgian midfielder nor the Serie A side said to be opposed to a split.

The relationship between De Bruyne and Napoli has failed to develop as expected, despite the high hopes surrounding the player when he joined. As a result, a departure in the winter window is viewed as a realistic outcome by both parties.

However, Aurelio De Laurentiis has set conditions for any deal, according to calcionapoli1926.it, citing Tuttosport. Napoli must avoid making a financial loss on the midfielder's departure, effectively ruling out the payment of a settlement fee.
