PSV explore options to make De Bruyne transfer possible

PSV have made contact with Napoli about a potential winter move for the 35-year-old midfielder, with sources confirming the Dutch club's interest.

PSV are exploring the possibility of signing Kevin De Bruyne from Napoli in the January transfer window, according to sources close to the Dutch club. The 35-year-old midfielder is contracted to Napoli until summer 2027, but PSV have inquired about his availability and confirmed that both the player and club have already been in contact.

PSV manager Peter Bosz has previously praised De Bruyne as one of the greatest footballers ever, and the club sees him as a marquee signing to strengthen their midfield after selling significant talent last summer. Technical director Earnest Stewart is actively pursuing reinforcements in that area.

However, sources stress that the interest remains in its early stages and considerable work remains before any deal could materialise.

De Bruyne joined Napoli from Manchester City in summer 2025 and is currently preparing with Belgium for Nations League matches against Turkey and Italy under PSV icon Mark van Bommel.
