Kevin De Bruyne’s final game for Manchester City will seemingly be City’s 2-nil win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on the final day of the 24/25 season. It is incredibly unlikely that he will play at the FIFA Club World Cup. That isn’t a major surprise as De Bruyne has to stay fit ahead of his move to his next club. The risk of playing at the tournament for the Manchester City legend far outweighs the gain. It now seems that Kevin De Bruyne is set to join Napoli in the coming days. The Belgian international looks set to play out the closing stages of his storied career in Serie A.

The curtain now seems to have fallen on the Manchester City career of Kevin De Bruyne.
With the reports that Kevin De Bruyne’s next club will be Napoli, the curtain has fallen on the Manchester City career of the club legend. He leaves the club as a Premier League legend, and arguably the club’s greatest ever player. His herculean efforts and accolades speak for themselves. Across Manchester City’s recent era of dominance, De Bruyne has been a key pillar to Pep Guardiola’s side and set-up. But once his departure from the club was announced, attention quickly shifted to which club he would play for next. That club will be Napoli based on the reports listed above.
Kevin De Bruyne had his farewell to Manchester City and the club’s fans after their 3-1 win over Bournemouth in City’s final home game of the 24/25 season. It was a special moment, and one that was befitting of De Bruyne’s status at the club. Now there is a real possibility that De Bruyne could return to the Etihad as a Napoli player in the UEFA Champions League. That would be a special moment in itself now that Kevin De Bruyne’s next club has become apparent.
