Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed that "Napoli" is actively pursuing Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. The Italian club's president revealed that talks about the potential transfer of the Belgian star have been ongoing for several months.

"The idea to sign De Bruyne was born 3 months ago. De Bruyne is a champion, we all know that. This summer there will be several transfers," De Laurentiis stated.

The 34-year-old Belgian international remains one of the premier midfielders in world football despite his age. His potential move from "Manchester City" to "Napoli" would be one of the most significant transfers of the summer window.

De Bruyne has been a cornerstone of City's success since joining the club in 2015. His vision, passing ability, and leadership have helped the English side secure multiple Premier League titles.

Interestingly, this pursuit comes at a time when "Napoli" is looking to rebuild after a challenging season. The addition of a player of De Bruyne's caliber would certainly signal serious ambitions from the Italian club.

Will the Belgian maestro actually make the switch to Serie A? The coming weeks should provide more clarity on this developing story.
