Napoli Transfer Market: De Bruyne Has an Offer for January—What Happened with Allegri?

Kevin De Bruyne continues to be at the center of transfer rumors at Napoli. The Belgian star, whose contract expires in June 2027, has had several run-ins with the Azzurri in recent months, including clashes with Massimiliano Allegri and a recent argument with Lorenzo Lucca. The player has consistently reiterated his intention to honor his contract, but the latest developments could cause him to change his mind.

According to the Dutch press, the player’s representatives have been contacted by PSV Eindhoven, which reportedly made an inquiry about a possible January transfer to the Dutch league. The Belgian international currently earns a hefty salary of 6 million euros net, which is a burden on Napoli’s finances; the club might not be entirely opposed to an early departure for the player, given his struggles in Naples.

According to rumors, his agents are reportedly making contact with several clubs, including PSV: at the moment, these are only preliminary discussions to establish the parameters of a possible deal. Everything will depend on the player’s wishes, as he may prefer to see out his contract with Napoli until next June before turning the page and starting a new chapter in his career.

After 11 league matches, Napoli sits in tenth place with 15 points—the result of 4 wins, 4 losses, and 3 draws—while in the Champions League, the team has earned just 3 points in its first 4 matches. Looking ahead to January, management is reportedly considering a major overhaul, with Lucca and Noa Lang set to leave and players such as Gustavo Varela of Monza and Dodô of Fiorentina being closely monitored. A potential departure by De Bruyne would thus be part of a transfer window marked by profound changes.
