Kevin De Bruyne: Everton linked with Napoli midfielder

Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, 35, is being linked with a move from Napoli to Everton in the Premier League.

De Bruyne joined Napoli from Manchester City on a free transfer in July 2025 and is contracted to the Serie A club until 30 June 2027. No transfer fee or probability has been established for a potential move to Everton.

He has made 11 Serie A appearances this season, scoring four goals and providing one assist, while also featuring in all four of Napoli’s Champions League matches and registering one assist. De Bruyne has started every Champions League game, although he has been named in the starting line-up for 55% of Napoli’s league matches.

The midfielder has also won the Italian Super Cup since arriving in Naples, adding to a career that includes six Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph with Manchester City.

De Bruyne spent a decade at City after joining from Wolfsburg in 2015, winning major domestic honours in England before moving to Italy. His current Napoli contract runs for another season beyond the present campaign, meaning any move to Everton would require an agreement between the clubs unless his situation changes before its expiry.
