Il Mattino wrote that there is renewed interest from Saudi Arabia in Kevin De Bruyne, and added that if De Bruyne were to relapse or need to be managed with limited minutes, Saudi Arabia would be seen as a rational solution rather than an exotic option. According to sources close to the matter, a deal is aimed at the summer and not an immediate winter exit.

Il Mattino reported that Napoli will seriously consider concrete offers from Saudi Arabia for Kevin De Bruyne, that clubs in the country are ready to acquire him immediately despite his current injury, and that the player is reportedly ready to consider other options.

According to Tuttomercato, De Bruyne could leave Napoli as early as February. It is stated that evaluating the situation is correct and that Napoli must consider his future. It is also mentioned that Napoli has found balance even without De Bruyne, and the team has over-performed to replace him.

There is interest from Saudi Arabia in Kevin De Bruyne, the 34-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder.
