“I think De Bruyne has bought a house in Naples”

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis unleashed on Monday, during the crowded celebration of the fourth 'Scudetto', the euphoria of the fans by alluding to the possible signing of Belgian Kevin de Bruyne, of whom he said that, although the signature is missing, he already has a home in the Parthenopean city.

“Will De Bruyne lift the cup too?” a journalist from public television Rai asked the president, aboard the open-top bus that toured the streets of Naples in a celebration attended by at least 200,000 people.

“Probably yes,” De Laurentiis said crisply, trophy in hand, confirming the rumors of recent weeks. “I know he has already advanced some things, or even I think he has already bought a beautiful house...”, he added, euphoric, about the player who will leave Manchester City and could arrive as a free agent. “This morning I video-linked with him, his wife and his 9-year-old son and it was a beautiful picture,” he continued.

However, he wanted to make it clear that there is still no signed contract. “So, can we make this move official?” the journalist asked. “Not yet. Until there is no white on black, there is no news,” he pointed out.

He also commented again on the situation with the coach, Antonio Conte, who could leave the club despite the team's success. “The coaches are under contract and, if they want to stay, we are very happy to continue with them on this wonderful path,” he concluded.
