Secret negotiation conducted by the DS Manna which was also in Manchester at the Belgian house in recent days blitz of the lady in Campania
It will have been the magic of the city, visited many times in the past, when she came to find her friend Mertens for a few hours of leisure together. And beyond the clichés, Naples really bewitched the De Bruyne family, so much so that Kevin and Michele in 2017 decided to get married in these parts. In Sant’Agnello, to be exact, two kilometers from Sorrento. In short, Campania is already a piece of heart for De Bruyne and his wife, now it remains to be understood if it will be something more. Maybe a new career stage, the last in European football for the City Star, expiring contract after ten seasons from King to Manchester. Kevin is a very reserved type and particularly sensitive to the needs of his loved ones. Thus, his wife’s opinion will be fundamental in the next professional choice. But Kevin, meanwhile, has made it known to the closest friends of being flattering by the interest of Napoli. And who is seriously evaluating the hypothesis of an adventure in Italy before going to close with a pharaonic contract on another continent. I want it in Chicago in MLS, but also – of course – in Saudi Arabia, where the sheikhs would be ready to do gold bridges to bring it immediately to the Saudi League. But Kevin is not in a hurry. Above all, he still wants to prove he is a Champions League player.
the meeting

The great director of the operation is the blue DS Giovanni Manna. The man who brought MCTominay to Naples has now started to raise the bar even more, aiming for one of the strongest midfielders of the last ten years. At the beginning of April Manna embarked on a flight to Manchester, knocked on the door of Casa De Bruyne and spent a day explaining to Kevin because Naples could be a perfect stop in this moment of career. De Bruyne will turn 34 at the end of June, he is no longer a boy but has the quality to still make the difference everywhere. And, net of injuries, in Italy it would be an out of category player. Naples fascinates him, the idea of reuniting with his friend Lukaku has an important weight. And also Mertens could take the field in favor of the blue club, he who still has a home in Naples. And he feels at home.

Manna’s mission was somehow productive. Evidently the DS touched the right ropes, as he had already done last summer with MCTominay and family. In Naples you live well, the passion of the fans is unique, the club is ambitious and wants to compete again to win the championship and to make a great Champions League. Music for the ears of those who are still convinced they can make a difference at the highest levels. The negotiation is difficult, very complex for many reasons. And one of these could be the engagement, given the latest contracts signed with the City. Napoli would have put a two -year contract on the table, easy to imagine also with an option for the third year, as De Laurentiis loves. Kevin reflects, but in the meantime the negotiation goes on, even in a hopeful way.
the blitz
–
In recent days Mrs. De Bruyne has landed in Naples for a tour of the city and to start seeing some apartment. For her and Kevin, very confidential, the logistical question counts like the sporty one. And it could make the difference. There is a quiet place to find, away from the spotlight. Possibly with a comfortable English school to reach. Kevin and Michele have three children, who are obviously the priority. But Lady De Bruyne’s recent blitz in the city is a strong clue: Kevin is seriously evaluating the Naples hypothesis, his is a total opening. Now it’s up to the company to play the right cards. While the fans can continue to dream.
