Napoli have officially closed the curtain on their impressive 2024/25 Serie A campaign by lifting the coveted Scudetto, securing a 2-0 victory over Cagliari on the final matchday. This triumph marks their second league title in just three seasons, a clear sign of the club’s growing stature and consistency at the highest level of Italian football.
With Inter Milan finishing just one point behind, Napoli had no room for error. But under pressure, they delivered, showcasing resilience, tactical discipline, and attacking flair. Their success this season is not only a testament to their domestic dominance but also a motivating factor to evolve further—on and off the pitch.
Napoli Set Sights on Kevin De Bruyne in High-Profile Transfer Bid
With their Scudetto celebrations still echoing through the streets of Naples, the club’s leadership is wasting no time in preparing for next season. Determined to bolster their squad for both domestic defense and Champions League ambitions, Napoli have reportedly submitted an official offer for Manchester City’s legendary midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A champions made their move swiftly after clinching the title. The 33-year-old Belgian, who has been a linchpin in City’s midfield for a decade, is entering the final weeks of his contract. With his deal set to expire in June, he is available as a free agent, making this a golden opportunity for Napoli to secure a world-class talent without a transfer fee.
Napoli’s offer is said to be a two-year contract, valued slightly under €12 million per season (approximately 211 billion Indonesian rupiah). While the financial package may not rival those from other suitors, the overall appeal—especially the opportunity to continue competing in the UEFA Champions League—makes it a compelling proposition.
MLS Offers Tempting Deal, But Champions League Is Napoli’s Trump Card
De Bruyne’s next destination has been a hot topic of speculation in recent weeks. Among the contenders is Chicago Fire from Major League Soccer (MLS), a club ready to break the bank for his services. Their reported financial offer exceeds what Napoli has tabled, but money isn’t the only factor for a player of De Bruyne’s caliber.
What gives Napoli a critical edge is their guaranteed participation in next season’s Champions League, a stage where De Bruyne still yearns to compete and shine. The allure of top-tier European football, coupled with the chance to be a centerpiece in a title-contending squad, may prove more persuasive than a lucrative American adventure.
Addіng fuеl to thе ѕресulаtіоn, rероrtѕ ѕuggеѕt that De Bruуnе’ѕ wіfе rесеntlу visited Naples tо еxрlоrе роtеntіаl living аrrаngеmеntѕ.
