Napoli turn to Quinten Timber of Feyenoord as a De Bruyne replacement

In the summer of 2025, Napoli reached an agreement to sign Kevin De Bruyne, but the Belgian recently suffered an injury, prompting the Neapolitans to look for another option.

Details: According to CalcioNapoli24, Napoli are now interested in Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber. The Italian side have lost both De Bruyne and Anguissa, making a new central midfielder a priority.

Timber’s contract expires in the summer of 2026, a factor that could play a major role for both Napoli and Feyenoord. The Dutch club will hardly want to lose him for free, so a January transfer appears very realistic.

Currently, Napoli is on a three-match winless streak and sits fourth in the table. In the most recent round, the team suffered a 2-0 defeat to Bologna.

Reminder: Napoli are also considering Thiago Motta as a potential replacement should Antonio Conte leave.
