PSV preparing bid for De Bruyne as Napoli weigh January exit
The situation
PSV are pushing to sign Kevin De Bruyne from Napoli, and the story has quickened in the last two days. Nicolo Schira reports that PSV are preparing a bid to submit to Napoli and have held positive first talks with the player's agents, with Napoli having opened the door to a sale in the January window, which opens on 1 January 2027. The 35-year-old's contract runs until 30 June 2027, with a club option to extend by a year.
The reporting
Schira first reported it on 11 November, saying PSV had asked Napoli for information. Dutch outlets carry it too: Telesport, Voetbal International and Rik Elfrink all reported on 11 November that PSV have made contact, with Elfrink describing the chance of an 'astronomical' transfer while stressing a deal is 'not yet a fact'. Pieter-Jan Calcoen relayed those Dutch reports on 12 November, adding that it is far from certain Napoli will let him leave this winter.
The outlook
This is against the odds. The interest is real and the first contact has happened, but no fee has been reported and Napoli's willingness to sell in January is not settled. For it to move, PSV need to turn their preparations into an actual bid, and Napoli need to decide they will part with him mid-season.
What to watch
The trigger to watch for is PSV lodging the bid Schira says they are preparing, and Napoli signalling clearly whether they will sell in January or hold him to the summer.
