Kevin De Bruyne is not considering a return to the Belgian league as he contemplates the next step in his career after his time at Napoli, a club he joined in July 2025. The 35-year-old Belgian international will not play in the Belgian competition again because he believes there is not much for him to win there. Consequently, a move to his former club KRC Genk, Club Brugge, or RSC Anderlecht will not happen. De Bruyne, who has 127 caps and 40 goals for Belgium, had previously indicated that returning to Belgium is not part of his plans, stating that he sees no sporting advantage in such a move.
Although a return to his home country is ruled out, PSV have shown concrete interest and held discussions with his entourage. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed this interest and the discussions. The Dutch club's interest is partly motivated by the desire of De Bruyne's family to live in Limburg again. A transfer is complicated by the fact that the midfielder's contract with Napoli runs until the summer of 2027. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €8.00M. Other clubs, such as Everton, San Diego, and Inter Miami, have also been linked with him.
