Kevin De Bruyne, the 35‑year‑old Belgian midfielder, may return to the Premier League after a season with Napoli, with Everton reportedly exploring a January move.
The Toffees have reportedly contacted De Bruyne’s representatives to discuss the possibility of bringing the former Manchester City star back to English football. The club is weighing a potential transfer during the winter window, according to the Italian outlet Calciomercato.
De Bruyne left Manchester City in the summer of 2025 after a decade at the Etihad, where he made 288 Premier League appearances and contributed almost 200 goals and assists, winning six league titles. He joined Napoli in Serie A, but his contract runs until 2027, with an option for a further year, meaning the Italian club would need to agree to any departure.
Everton’s interest would give the Belgian another chance to showcase his quality in the English top flight, but the deal remains uncertain until negotiations with Napoli are concluded.
With Everton looking to strengthen their midfield, the potential return of De Bruyne could add a high‑profile name to the club’s squad for the remainder of the season.
