PSV Opens Talks to Sign Kevin De Bruyne

Living nearer his family in Belgian Limburg would be the main draw if PSV and Napoli can agree terms before his contract expires in June.

Overview

  • Multiple Dutch and Belgian outlets report that PSV quietly opened contact this week and is optimistic about bringing Kevin De Bruyne to Eindhoven.
  • The story leaked publicly and became a widespread sports-headline item that dominated coverage of De Bruyne this week.
  • De Bruyne stayed deliberately noncommittal after scoring for Belgium, saying only that “we will see” and that he has felt a bit fluish in recent days.
  • Journalists and people close to the player say De Bruyne is receptive to a move and prefers to live in Belgian Limburg, a location that makes Eindhoven a convenient option.
  • Any January transfer would require Napoli to accept a fee before his contract ends in June so clubs and De Bruyne must still agree on price, personal terms and timing.
