Star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly close to joining Italian club Napoli, signaling the end of an unforgettable era at the Etihad Stadium.
Fans in Naples are buzzing with excitement, eager to welcome the Belgian playmaker and watch him work his magic at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

City sees him as a key target to strengthen their midfield ahead of the Club World Cup.
An official offer is expected soon as competition from other top European clubs grows.
