Napoli confirm Kevin De Bruyne signing as former Man City star joins Italian club after emotional Etihad exit

Napoli have confirmed the signing of Kevin De Bruyne after his emotional Manchester City exit.

Pep Guardiola broke down in tears as the playmaker waved goodbye to the Etihad following his final game there as a City player last month on the back of a decade-long stay in Manchester.

The club opted against renewing his contract for next season, meaning the Belgian midfielder departed after 10 years that saw him win a wealth of honours including the Champions League and six Premier League titles.

De Bruyne, who played 421 times for the club, missed a sitter in his final game at the ground he has called home for so long, blazing his effort on to the crossbar from just yards out.
