Kevin De Bruyne keeps the possibility open to sign for an MLS club before retiring, although there is no confirmation of an immediate exit from Napoli. The Belgian midfielder, 35 years old, has a contract until June 2027, with an option to extend it until 2028.

The situation has been closely monitored since last summer. Nicolò Schira reported in June that several MLS teams had shown interest in Kevin De Bruyne, while Il Mattino suggested that a proposal from the U.S. could lead the player to consider leaving Napoli.

Kevin De Bruyne and an MLS that already inquired about his situation

The American option is not new for Kevin De Bruyne. Before signing for Napoli as a free agent in June 2025, the Belgian turned down an offer from Chicago Fire to remain in Europe.

Now, more alternatives have emerged. Inter Miami, Chicago Fire, and San Diego FC were mentioned in August as interested clubs, with the Florida team seen as one of the destinations most capable of convincing the player.

The contract also influences any potential deal. Kevin De Bruyne earns around 6.5 million euros annually plus bonuses, and his agreement with Napoli ends in 2027, so any departure before that date would require an agreement between the parties.

His performance also does not suggest a player sidelined from the project. In the 2026/27 Serie A season, he has 3 matches, 1 goal, and 1 assist, while in his first Italian season he scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists in 18 league appearances.

Napoli, Allegri, and the real situation of the Belgian

The arrival of Massimiliano Allegri did raise doubts about Kevin De Bruyne's continuity, especially regarding the need to find him a role within the new system. In June, Schira pointed out that the coach would have to decide how to fit the Belgian in and mentioned offers coming from the MLS.

However, the most recent information does not confirm that Kevin De Bruyne is actively seeking to leave Napoli. Gazzetta published on September 9 that Allegri had managed to include him in his plans, after the player agreed to start the season with limited playing time from the bench.

In addition, Allegri fielded Kevin De Bruyne as a starter against Arsenal in the Champions League on September 9. The Belgian played in midfield alongside Lobotka and Gilmour in a match that Napoli lost 0-1.

For now, therefore, the MLS remains a possibility for the future and not a closed operation. Kevin De Bruyne will continue to be linked with Napoli during the season, and any developments will depend on the evolution of his sports relationship with Massimiliano Allegri and the proposals that may come from the U.S. before June 2027.
