Kevin De Bruyne has declined to confirm whether he could leave Napoli for PSV in January, saying “what comes, comes” amid reports of interest from the Dutch club.

Reports in the Netherlands on Thursday claimed PSV had been in contact with De Bruyne over a potential move, following speculation that he is unhappy at Napoli.
Speaking after scoring in Belgium’s 2-1 win over Turkiye, the midfielder refused to confirm any deal. Instead, he stressed that he was happy with his performances and physical condition.
“I feel good; I play everything at a good level. And what comes, comes. It is not the time to talk about it now.”
“I can’t say too much about it,” De Bruyne said. “At the moment I’m happy.”
“I know how it works. There are always many rumours. I stay calm under it – you know me. I am happy with my level and how I feel physically. That is the only thing that matters.”
The Belgian joined Napoli on a free transfer in June 2025 after leaving Manchester City, but his time in Serie A has not been straightforward. A hamstring injury kept him out for more than four months of the 2025-26 season, and he attracted attention at the end of that campaign for saying he was “happy” to see Antonio Conte leave.
De Bruyne has featured in every one of Napoli’s 15 matches this season. Despite that involvement, Italian media have continued to suggest a departure could be possible in the upcoming transfer window.
Asked whether PSV’s reported interest was mutual, he offered only two words: “We’ll see.”
