Prior to his serious injury that sidelined him from October 2025 to March 2026, De Bruyne had voiced his frustration with coach Antonio Conte’s tactics.
He criticized them for being overly negative and defensive, a situation he feels has not improved under new manager Max Allegri.
As reported by transfer expert Ekrem Konur, Galatasaray is eager to capitalize on the situation by offering a lucrative two-year contract.

Despite Napoli’s insistence that De Bruyne is an integral part of their plans, at 35 years old, he may not be opposed to freeing up his salary from their payroll.
During his inaugural season with Napoli, he made 21 appearances and notably scored five goals and provided four assists.
