- Napoli are 1/3 favourites to sign Kevin De Bruyne, according to bet365.

- De Bruyne is expected to play one of his final matches for City in Saturday’s FA Cup Final vs Crystal Palace.
Napoli Closing in on De Bruyne Deal as Odds Collapse to 1/3
Bookmakers have now slashed odds on Kevin De Bruyne's next club, with fresh reports from Gianluca Di Marzio claiming that talks between Napoli and the Manchester City midfielder are “positive” and a transfer this summer is increasingly likely.
The odds market has shifted dramatically in the past 48 hours, with Bet365 now pricing Napoli at just 1/3, giving them a 75% implied chance of signing the 32-year-old.
De Bruyne is reportedly keen on a new challenge after a decade of dominance in English football and with Napoli in need of a marquee signing, a deal looks increasingly realistic.
| Kevin De Bruyne Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Napoli | 1/3 | 75.0% |
| Any MLS Team | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Any Saudi Club | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Liverpool | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Aston Villa | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Stay at Man City | 18/1 | 5.3% |
What the expert says...
Final Wembley Appearance Before Departure?
De Bruyne is expected to feature for Manchester City one last time this Saturday as they take on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final at Wembley.
While City are 4/11 favourites to lift the trophy, the spotlight may shift post-match to De Bruyne’s next destination, with an emotional farewell on the cards.

Will MLS or Saudi Pro League Step In?
While Napoli now dominate the market, MLS (5/2) and Saudi Arabia (7/1) still loom as possible alternatives, especially if wage demands become a sticking point.
Clubs like Inter Miami and Al Nassr have both been linked in past windows, and with De Bruyne’s commercial appeal and global fanbase, he would be a huge draw in either league.
The odds are drifting on those two destinations however with Napoli looking stronger and stronger by the day.
