PSV prepare January offer for De Bruyne as Napoli insist he is not for sale
The midfielder's contract runs out on 30 June 2027 and the club have already decided not to take up the option for 2028. Their asking price says more than their public line.
PSV Eindhoven are preparing an offer for De Bruyne ahead of the January window. The interest is concrete, but any deal will need both the player and Napoli on board. For now the club are holding firm: the number 11 is not on the market.
The club's position has an obvious contradiction. Napoli say De Bruyne is not for sale, yet they have let it be known they want just under €10m and that €6-7m could get talks going. De Bruyne arrived on a free transfer in the summer of 2025, and the club have chosen not to extend his deal. If he stays, he leaves next June without bringing in a euro. If he goes in January, the midfield has to be rebuilt almost from scratch: Lobotka is out until mid-December, and Anguissa, also out of contract in 2027, could leave this winter if a concrete offer arrives.

Results come before signings. Napoli are tenth on 15 points, 9 off fourth place, and host Torino at the Maradona on Saturday 21 November at 20:45 CET (19:45 UK, 14:45 ET). The club have made January spending depend on closing the gap to fourth to four or five points at most. De Bruyne's future, like every other deal, partly depends on that.
