Kevin De Bruyne mobbed by Napoli fans after arriving to complete transfer
Kevin De Bruyne has arrived at Napoli today as Alfredo Pedulla exclusive reported he would be for CaughtOffside earlier this week.
The Belgium international has been filmed getting out of a car to be greeted by a huge crowd of Napoli fans in what is a hugely exciting day for them.
De Bruyne is a free agent this summer after coming to the end of his contract with Manchester City, where he established himself as one of the all-time Premier League greats.

De Bruyne may be slightly past his peak now, but he remains a world class passer of the ball and a goal threat from midfield, and it’s easy to imagine him still being able to have an impact at the highest level.
The slower pace of the game in Italy could also help prolong De Bruyne’s career, with the 33-year-old perhaps no longer ideally suited to the fast and furious nature of the English game.
Kevin De Bruyne’s legendary status at Manchester City
De Bruyne has had his fair share of plaudits down the years, with Pep Guardiola admitting “his legacy will be eternal” when discussing his exit, as per TNT Sports.
Gary Neville has also previously given him huge praise, saying he’s one of the best to play in the Premier League.
“Kevin De Bruyne would be in my all-time Premier League XI as well. I think he’s been the best player in the Premier League for the last seven or eight years,” Neville said on The Overlap, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
“You know exactly what he’s going to do. He’s predictable, actually, in terms of reading. So was Beckham and Gerrard. But the problem is you still can’t do anything about it because the precision and the accuracy is so good.
“He’s an absolute world-class player. And the delivery for me, that’s something every time I watched him, was just a thing of beauty.”
