Kevin De Bruyne’s next move remains uncertain. While recent reports strongly suggested he was on his way from Manchester City to Napoli, a new story published by The Independent has reopened the debate. According to the British outlet, the Belgian midfielder hasn’t made a final decision and may actually stay in the Premier League, with an unexpected twist: a potential move to Liverpool.

Rumors of his signing with Napoli intensified after the club’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, hinted during the celebrations of their fourth Scudetto that De Bruyne had even found a place to live in Naples. “I know he’s already made some arrangements, or I even think he’s bought a beautiful house…,” De Laurentiis said excitedly while holding the trophy on a parade bus surrounded by a huge crowd.

Despite the Napoli president’s enthusiastic comments, The Independent insists that the deal isn’t done. In fact, they claim De Bruyne might reconsider and accept an offer from Liverpool, one of Manchester City’s biggest domestic rivals.

If confirmed, this would be one of the most shocking transfers of the upcoming window. At 33, De Bruyne remains a key figure for Pep Guardiola’s squad, and his departure would not only be a major loss for City, but also a massive boost for a direct competitor.

Meanwhile, De Laurentiis tried to manage expectations, clarifying that “nothing is signed yet,” even though he mentioned a recent video call with the player, his wife, and their son. “It was a beautiful moment,” he said, but reiterated that the deal cannot be considered official until there’s a signed contract.

At the same time, uncertainty looms over the future of Antonio Conte, despite Napoli’s recent success. The president assured that any coach who wishes to stay is “more than welcome to continue this wonderful journey.”

Everything indicates that the Kevin De Bruyne saga still has several twists ahead. Will he wear Napoli’s sky blue, or Liverpool red? European football is holding its breath.
