Following transfer rumours linking him to the Naples-based outfit, De Laurentiis has confirmed the club’s interest in signing the Belgian midfielder.
"We want Kevin De Bruyne, we want to sign him. We need his approval in order to make it happen," he told II Mattino, via Fabrizio Romano.
With De Bruyne ending his City career, the former Chelsea star will go on holiday, having decided not to play in this summer’s Club World Cup.
