Kevin De Bruyne's Napoli Future Hangs in Balance After Allegri's Arrival

Kevin De Bruyne's debut season at Napoli was marred by a serious injury that limited the 35-year-old Belgian midfielder to just 1,360 minutes across 21 appearances. Still, he managed five goals and four assists before heading to the 2026 World Cup with his national team. Upon returning to club duty, Bruyne found himself in a precarious spot. New Napoli boss Massimiliano Allegri doesn't appear to have the veteran in his long-term plans, and the club is feeling the weight of his €6.5 million annual salary. According to reports, both sides have agreed to wait until the final weeks of the transfer window before making a call on the midfielder's future. De Bruyne still has one season left on his contract, with an option for another year. If no solution is found, the Belgian playmaker could be on his way out of Naples this summer.
