en.malanginspirasi.com – Kevin De Bruyne’s stay at Napoli appears increasingly uncertain after reports emerged that negotiations over a contract extension have ground to a halt.
The 35-year-old Belgian midfielder arrived at the club on a free transfer from Manchester City in the summer of 2025.
Injuries restricted his involvement during his debut season, and Napoli have endured a difficult start to the current campaign, collecting just seven points from their first five Serie A matches.
Italian journalist Nicolò Schira has reported that discussions aimed at prolonging De Bruyne’s deal beyond its June 2027 expiry have stalled.
As a result, a departure at the end of the contract is now viewed as increasingly likely.De Bruyne recently addressed summer exit speculation while on international duty with Belgium.
He dismissed those rumors, pointing instead to Napoli’s congested schedule as the reason he had remained focused on the present.
