PSV eyes Kevin De Bruyne with January talks underway
Contacts with the Belgian's entourage have reportedly taken place and PSV are said to be preparing a bid. Napoli would not stand in the way, and his deal runs to 2027.
PSV Eindhoven want Kevin De Bruyne for the January window, and what was until now a rumour is starting to take shape. According to De Telegraaf, the Dutch club have already held contacts with the midfielder's camp, who would not have ruled out a move in the next window. Tuttosport adds that PSV are preparing an economic proposal for Napoli.
De Bruyne joined Napoli a year and a half ago on a free transfer, so the Serie A club would receive no fee if they let him go. His contract runs until 2027, with an option for one more season, and Napoli would reportedly not object if the player wants to leave. Letting him go would also save about 6 million euros net in wages, nearly 7 gross if the deal is done in January.
The atmosphere is not helping either: a clash with Lucca in Porto during the last Champions League match and tensions with Allegri over some of the coach's instructions, which were settled days later. PSV, meanwhile, are looking for creativity in the number ten role after the departures of Veerman and Saibari.
