Napoli have confirmed Kevin De Bruyne is to join them from Manchester City. The Belgium playmaker is out of contract at the Etihad this summer.
De Bruyne will link up with former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Antonio Conte, who is head coach of the Italian champions.
In moving to Italy on a free transfer, De Bruyne rejected an offer from Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire, and the switch means he can play in the Champions League next season.
