Napoli have confirmed the signing of Kevin De Bruyne following his exit from Manchester City.
The Serie A champions moved quickly to capture the Belgium international after he was not offered a new deal at the Etihad.
De Bruyne won 14 major trophies in a decorated 10-year stint with City.

The 33-year-old underwent a medical in Rome this morning before the paperwork was completed, bringing an end to a wonderful spell under Pep Guardiola.
There was a clamour for De Bruyne to stay with his end-of-season displays showing he still had plenty in the tank as he provided the drive for City to finish third in the Premier League and clinch a place in next season’s Champions League.

De Bruyne to join Lukaku and McTominay in Naples
At Napoli he will join a team that has won the Scudetto in two of the last three years, the most recent coming under the tutelage of Antonio Conte.
He will also link-up with international team-mate Romelu Lukaku and form a midfield bond with former Manchester United man Scott McTominay, who has shone in Serie A.
