Report: PSV in contact with De Bruyne over potential January transfer

Report: PSV in contact with De Bruyne over potential January transfer Reports in the Netherlands claim that PSV Eindhoven are interested in signing Kevin De Bruyne from Napoli this winter, and that the Dutch side have been in contact with the Belgian ‘for some time’. Report: PSV interested in January De Bruyne deal De Bruyne’s time with Napoli could already be coming to an end: Reports in Italy earlier this week claimed that the former Manchester City star could leave the club as early as January and reports over the last 24 hours claim that PSV are among the interested parties.

The 35-year-old missed over four months of the 2025-26 season with a major hamstring injury, and though Napoli ended last season in the Serie A top four, De Bruyne still found himself wrapped up in controversy when he said that he was ‘happy’ to see Scudetto-winning head coach Antonio Conte leave . Conte has since been replaced by Massimiliano Allegri, who has, however, gone on to lose seven of his first 15 matches in charge of the Partenopei, leaving them in 10th place in the Serie A table during the November international break and at risk of missing out on qualification to the Champions League knock-out rounds. De Bruyne is under contract until June 30, although the club has an option to extend that agreement for a further 12 months. There have been recent suggestions in Italy that a departure could be brought forward to January .

Transfer expert Mounir Boualin claims that PSV have been in contact with De Bruyne’s representatives ‘for some time’ and that discussions have been positive thus far. Local newspaper Eindhovens Dagblad agrees that PSV are interested in De Bruyne, but adds that there is a long way to go before a final agreement is reached. The Dutch side are not the only club interested in a potential deal for De Bruyne this winter, according to the latest updates.
