Napoli have been a little nervous regarding Kevin De Bruyne in recent days, wanting to get the player’s arrival from Manchester City confirmed.
Other clubs were trying to enter the race but now, the Italian side have sealed the deal and the Belgian has arrived in Rome on a private jet to undergo a medical with the Partenopei.
Gianluca di Marzio reports De Bruyne will undergo a Napoli medical today and is preparing to join the club soon once the tests are successful.
Gazzetta dello Sport add more information and describe the move for the Manchester City hero as a ‘masterstroke’ from the Italian giants, with the attacking midfielder set to sign an initial two-year deal and have an option for a third season also.
They claim medical tests will take place early in the day and right after everything is completed, he will go on vacation. The 33-year-old will be presented to the fans as a Napoli player in July.
On the 17th of July, he will accompany the rest of the squad for pre-season training and get accustomed to manager Antonio Conte’s methods and tactics.
Gazzetta also detail the reasons behind the delay and they believe things dragged on because of complications in the Belgian’s hunt for a new house.
A member of his legal team arrived in Naples yesterday to address the problem and now, De Bruyne will join Napoli after making himself a legend at Manchester City.
