de Bruyne attended the debut conference in Naples.

Reasons for choosing Naples

"From a competitive standpoint, this is the best place for me. Naples has proved its strength last season. It is completely different from England, I am still competitive, and I want to prove that I can still play at a high level."

Expectations for Serie A

"There are a lot of strong teams here, and we hope to have a good journey (in the league) and the Cup in the Champions League and the Italian Cup. I think Serie A is very competitive and I am very excited to start."

Naples' plan

"The club has proposed an ambitious plan to me. They want to stay competitive and have completed some other important signings. I am not that young anymore, but I feel like I can contribute a lot."

Relationship with Lukaku

"I called Lukaku and Mertens to ask for their views on the environment. But in the end it was my own decision, made with my family. Lukaku was happy with my choice, I knew him since I was 13, and we had a deep friendship, which certainly affected my decision." No. 10 jersey assigned in training "At first I was surprised because I knew the number was retired (sealed). It was still an honor for me, but I don't think it would bring me more responsibility, and when you play for such a club, the responsibility exists. I am De Bruyne, and I want to bring joy to the fans."

"Napoli, like other clubs, showed me their plans, and I think it was the most attractive. Of course, lifestyle has its implications."
