Napoli sensational, the assault on De Bruyne begins: the dream takes shape

Kevin De Bruyne in Napoli's sights. It's not a fantasy football suggestion, but an operation that is starting to take shape in the thoughts and strategies of Giovanni Manna, the Azzurri's sporting director.

After the arrival of McTominay and the explosion of the project signed by Antonio Conte, the Neapolitan club has turned the spotlight on one of the absolute symbols of European football of the last ten years. A move that would make your wrists tremble and ignite every ambition.

De Bruyne is ready to say goodbye to Manchester City, where he made history with 108 goals and a dizzying list of honours: one Champions League, six Premier Leagues, one Club World Cup, five League Cups, two FA Cups and three Community Shields.

A life in light blue, but now the call of a new challenge pushes him to look elsewhere. And Napoli is there, ready to offer him not only a central role in a team that wants to dominate again, but also the warm and passionate atmosphere of Maradona.

Behind the idea, there is the club's desire to relaunch in grand style. Manna has been hunting for opportunities in the Premier League for some time, and De Laurentiis is no stranger to spectacular moves. A complex operation, certainly, but not impossible, especially with Conte's charisma acting as a magnet and with a not insignificant detail: his historic friendship with Romelu Lukaku, already a driving force in the blue jersey and ready to act as a sponsor for the operation.

The Belgian, who will turn 34 in June, has no intention of ending his career among the petrodollars of the Gulf. He still wants to breathe real football, at high levels, and in Serie A he could have a devastating impact

In the city, just the news of the possible move has already fueled excitement. Fans are dreaming of a new idol after Mertens , and the thought that Naples could also become De Bruyne's home is fueling anticipation for what promises to be a scorching summer.
