PSV Explore Shock Move For De Bruyne
Eredivisie champions PSV are reportedly working on an eye-catching January transfer plan, with Napoli midfielder Kevin De Bruyne identified as their leading target.
De Bruyne, 35, is reportedly permitted to depart Napoli in January on a free transfer. The Belgian playmaker has found life in Naples difficult and is reportedly involved in a bust-up with several team-mates, including Rasmus Hojlund, Lorenzo Lucca, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

Several Dutch outlets report that PSV hold an interest in De Bruyne and have already opened top-level discussions with the Belgian. According to ED’s Rik Elfrink, the reigning Dutch champions are “hopeful” of bringing him in, with De Bruyne said not to have responded negatively to PSV’s approach.
Why PSV See De Bruyne As A Difference-Maker
PSV manager Peter Bosz has recently acknowledged that the Eindhoven side have lacked a player capable of changing matches through individual quality since Joey Veerman and Ismail Saibari left in the summer.
De Bruyne is viewed as a potential addition to PSV’s attacking options. Romanian winger Dennis Man is said to be allowed to leave the club in January, while Sami Ouaissa has not played a minute since arriving from NEC Nijmegen. That leaves PSV with Ruben van Bommel, Esmir Bajraktarevic, 18-year-old Amir Bouhamdi, and Ivan Perisic, whose contract expires in the summer.
PSV are not expected to have a clear run at De Bruyne, with Everton also reportedly interested in signing the former Manchester City star.
Napoli Monitor Monaco Midfield Options
As Napoli’s transfer situation develops, the Serie A side are also considering a move for AS Monaco midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Coulibaly, 22, came through Monaco’s highly regarded academy and has been involved regularly for his formative club this season despite missing matches through injury. Across all competitions, he has made eight appearances and scored twice, including a goal in last weekend’s draw against Le Mans FC.
Although primarily a midfielder, Coulibaly can also operate on the right of midfield and has been used there for much of the season so far. La Gazzetta dello Sport understands that he could be available for €30m.
Camara Also Linked As Monaco Aim To Hold Firm
Coulibaly’s Monaco team-mate Lamine Camara is also reported to be on Napoli’s list of targets. However, any move for the Senegal international could prove difficult, with Monaco keen to retain him until the end of the season.
