Napoli's Shock Decision on De Bruyne

Napoli have decided to part ways with Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne, who has failed to reach the desired level this season and has had problems within the team. For the 35-year-old, who signed for Napoli last year after a 10-year spell at Manchester City, things in Italy have not gone as planned.

Last year De Bruyne had problems with head coach Antonio Conte, and after the Italian coach's departure he criticized Conte in a statement. It is reported that things have not improved since Massimiliano Allegri took over as head coach at Napoli this season. The Belgian star also had a clash with teammate Lorenzo Lucca during the Champions League match against Porto.

According to a report in the Italian newspaper Il Mattino, the player also clashed with Rasmus Hojlund and team captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo. It was claimed that De Bruyne has struggled to adapt to the dressing room managed by Allegri.

Napoli reportedly want to part ways with De Bruyne, the team's highest earner at 6 million euros a year, during the mid-season transfer window.

This season, Kevin De Bruyne has played in 15 matches for Napoli, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists. The Belgian star, whose current market value is listed at 8 million euros, has a contract with Napoli that expires at the end of the season.
