See you almost 34 years old, the time for retirement has not yet struck for Kevin de Bruyne. Nor even that of golden pre-retirement. Since he announced his departure from Manchester City, after ten years very good and loyal service, the Red Devil was however one of the priority targets of Saudi Arabia and was also on the tablets of several MLS franchises.
But for the former Chelsea player, who intends to compete in the next World Cup and has also scored the goal of Belgium's victory on Monday, facing Wales, an exile in the Gulf or on the other side of the Atlantic, as lucrative as it is, never appeared as a very attractive option. Especially since several European cadors have not failed to manifest themselves in recent weeks.
In England, Aston Villa and Liverpool have thus taken information in recent weeks. But the Belgian had already advanced well with Naples, just crowned Italian champion and determined to shine next season in C1.
Kevin de Bruyne had not responded to the approach of OM
And to believe the specialist Transfers Fabrizio Romano, the case is now heard. Kevin de Bruyne has indeed reached an agreement with the Parthenopéens and a medical visit is scheduled this Thursday at the end of which the Belgian playmaker will be committed for two years more an optional third year.
Olympique de Marseille will therefore have to be reason. In search of leading players to shine in the Champions League, the Olympian club also approached Kevin de Bruyne. “It's simple, all the top players at the end of the contract, we tried them. Afterwards, the player can come or not, sometimes you have an agent who is a little surprised by the call because he said to himself: “But wait, how does he intend to pay it?” “”, explained Medhi Benatia.
And according to the Corriere dello Sport, KDB had indeed been approached by Marseille leaders, ready to break their piggy bank to attract it. But the Red Devil did not follow up.
