Kevin De Bruyne decides his future! Outgoing Man City dynamo gives 'green light' to transfer as Belgian makes big call on MLS switch

FA Cup

Crystal Palace

Manchester City

<p>Manchester City stalwart De Bruyne is yet to take a final decision on his future, having announced his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-official-midfielder-confirms-leave-man-city-emotional-message-fans/blt539077ebbba59885" target="_blank">exit from the Etihad Stadium</a>. <a href="https://www.sky-sport.ch/fr/articles/florian-wirtz-de-bruyne-manor-solomon-moise-kean-voici-les-infos-transferts-de-la-semaine/" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a> reports that Napoli are in talks with the Belgian's representatives as they look determined to secure the player's services this summer. The 33-year-old also has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/the-rondo-assessing-best-mls-fit-for-kevin-de-bruyne-if-inter-miami-is-a-genuine-option-and-why-he-might-thrive-under-gregg-berhalter-in-chicago/bltc5fc2fda2fef3a25" target="_blank">offers from several Major League Soccer clubs</a>, but the midfielder is said to have approved talks with the Italian side.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report adds that the Serie A leaders are set to submit an initial salary offer of €7 million to De Bruyne's representatives. While that is significantly lower than what the player is earning at City at the moment, taxes are much lower in Italy and he would receive a significant signing bonus. Napoli will table an initial two-year contract to the City star with an option to extend it by one more season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The city is familiar to De Bruyne and his family as they have holidayed there on several occasions and used to visit ex-Napoli star Dries Mertens on a regular basis.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>For now, the Cityzens star is fully focused on ending the 2024-25 campaign on a high with a trophy as Pep Guardiola's side will next face Crystal Palace in the final of FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday. </p>
