Kevin De Bruyne parted ways with Manchester City at the end of last season and is now on the verge of joining Napoli. The president of the Italian club has revealed key details about this high-profile transfer.
Details: As Aurelio De Laurentiis explained during a press conference, negotiations began three months ago. According to him, this is far from the most complicated deal he has ever handled.
Quote: "The process started three months ago, but it’s not the biggest deal I’ve ever made. De Bruyne is an outstanding player, and we’re fully aware of that, but he’s no longer young. We understand that he’ll be an asset added to a squad in need of reinforcements. There will be plenty of new signings.
We like to work thoroughly and leave nothing to chance. Nobody expected Conte to confirm his commitment so quickly, so there’s no reason for concern," De Laurentiis stated.
Reminder: Conte has officially agreed to remain at Napoli for the upcoming season. The club will sign a new contract with the experienced coach.
