Kevin De Bruyne could leave Napoli in January, according to reports from the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany and Portugal. De Telegraaf reports that PSV Eindhoven are working on a winter move for the 35-year-old Belgian, and Portuguese daily Record says the Dutch club has already made contact.

Italian reports add more detail. Corriere dello Sport writes that Napoli are focused on former Bologna forward Zirkzee and that the club is rebuffing the PSV approach. Tuttosport reports that PSV offer a contract until 2028 and that the payment needed to end his Napoli deal early is the main sticking point. After scoring for Belgium, De Bruyne left the door open to the Dutch club, saying he will see.

Transfermarkt reports that Galatasaray are also keen on the midfielder. Mundo Deportivo says De Bruyne does not get on with coach Massimiliano Allegri and has been seen arguing with teammates, Højlund especially, in recent weeks, while the team's sporting situation is also difficult. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that PSV want answers quickly, but that Aurelio De Laurentiis is not thought to share that view.

Golviva's valuation of De Bruyne is €4.9m, 39% below the €8m market value listed by Transfermarkt. His Napoli contract runs until June 2027, and this season he has 11 appearances, four goals, one assist and an average rating of 7.12.
