Everton make early contact over De Bruyne January move
Written on 10 Nov 2026, before the latest reports. The ring above is live.
The situation
Everton have made initial contact with Kevin De Bruyne's entourage over a January move, according to the one report carrying this story. The 35-year-old Belgian joined Napoli on a free from Manchester City on 1 July 2025, and he has 18 months of football behind him there. His deal runs until 30 June 2027, with a club option for a further year, so Napoli would be selling, not losing him for nothing. For now, this is interest and early conversations, nothing firmer.
The reporting
Calciomercato.it first reported it on 9 November, saying Everton are keen and have opened talks with his camp for January. No other outlet has matched it, and no trusted reporter has backed it. One report, one voice.
The outlook
The chance of this happening by the end of the January window is slim. Everton have not made a bid, and Napoli have not agreed to let him go mid-season. For it to move, the interest would need to become a concrete offer, and Napoli would need to decide they will sell with six months left on his contract when the window opens on 1 January 2027.
What happens next
What would change it: a formal Everton bid, Napoli signalling they are willing to listen, or a second outlet reporting the same contact with fresh detail. The January window opens on 1 January 2027 and closes on 1 February 2027. Until an offer lands, this stays a single early report.
