KEVIN DE BRUYNE could be heading for a sensational Napoli exit just 18 months after joining the Italian side, according to reports.

The Manchester City legend’s future has been thrown into doubt following a series of reported bust-ups with his own team-mates.

According to Il Mattino, former Manchester United flop Rasmus Hojlund is among those to have fallen out with De Bruyne.

Club captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo is also included, as is Lorenzo Lucca – who was involved in an on-pitch row with the midfielder in last week’s 4-1 loss to Porto.

Dressing room distress in Naples could see De Bruyne’s exit come as early as the January transfer window.

His contract runs until next summer, with Napoli having the option to extend for an extra year.

The 35-year-old only joined the Serie A team in the summer of 2025 after bringing the curtain down on his terrific 10-year spell at Man City.

But his time in Italy has not gone entirely to plan, with the midfielder reportedly struggling to settle into life at the club.

De Bruyne has made 36 appearances for Napoli since joining.

During that time, the Belgium international has scored nine goals and provided six assists.

The midfielder has managed four goals and two assists in 15 outings so far this term.

De Bruyne recorded 285 goal contributions in 422 Man City appearances during his time at the Etihad Stadium.

He also won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups and five league cups.
