De Bruyne greeted by fans when arriving for medical
Nypan in line to sign from Rosenborg for £12.4m
Kevin De Bruyne has completed his move to Napoli on a free transfer after leaving Manchester City. The midfielder, who turns 34 this month, joins the Serie A champions three days after scoring a late winner for Belgium against Wales.
De Bruyne was greeted by excited fans chanting “Kevin” when he arrived for his medical and Napoli’s social media posts announcing the deal included one showing him wearing a crowd, with a Napoli shield by his right hand and a sword to his left. “King Kev is here,” the club wrote.
De Bruyne made more than 400 appearances for City after joining from Wolfsburg in 2015 and the Premier League club’s preparations for a future without him have continued with an agreement to sign Rosenborg’s midfielder Sverre Nypan for €14.6m (£12.4m). If the 18-year-old joins he is likely to be loaned out.
