Naples: Kevin De Bruyne set to stay

After weeks of deliberation, Kevin De Bruyne is now expected to stay at Napoli.

The Belgian international attacking midfielder was widely tipped for a departure just days ago, with only a year left on his contract. But according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the situation has now shifted.

Tavolieri reports that the decision came down to family considerations, even as Major League Soccer franchises showed interest in Kevin De Bruyne. The former Manchester City star’s choice is excellent news for Massimiliano Allegri, Napoli's new manager, who is counting on the Belgian maestro for next season.
