PSV Target January Deal for Kevin De Bruyne After Napoli Talks
PSV Eindhoven have made preliminary contact with Kevin De Bruyne’s representatives regarding a mid-season move from SSC Napoli. Talks between the Eredivisie club and the Belgian midfielder’s camp have been ongoing, though negotiations remain in an early phase ahead of the January transfer window.
The 35-year-old playmaker faces an uncertain situation in Italy following a difficult stretch in Serie A. He originally moved to Naples on a free transfer during the summer of 2025.

De Bruyne offers proven passing range and direct attacking delivery when fit, though a severe hamstring injury sidelined him for over four months during the 2025-26 campaign. His transition to Serie A has hit complications under manager Massimiliano Allegri, whose side currently sit 10th in the table after losing seven of their opening 15 matches.

A move to Eindhoven would place the experienced midfielder directly into PSV’s central rotation for the second half of the season. His potential departure from Naples comes alongside broader squad movement, with teammate Noa Lang also linked with a winter exit from the Italian side.
Contract Duration and Napoli’s Exit Position
De Bruyne remains under contract with SSC Napoli until June 30, 2027, with the Italian club holding an option to extend that deal for an additional 12 months. With Napoli outside the European spots in 10th place, a mid-season agreement could allow all parties to finalize an early exit.
