De Laurentiis is close to reaching a deal with De Bruyne's agents and is willing to make a significant financial offer to secure the Belgian player's signature.

The proposed agreement includes a €10m signing bonus and a two-year contract worth €5.5m per season, with an option to extend it by another year. This move highlights the high value Napoli places on De Bruyne and their desire to avoid a bidding war for his services.

Napoli is not limiting their transfer efforts to De Bruyne alone. They are also interested in Lewis Ferguson, a midfielder from Bologna, and Kenneth Taylor from Ajax, who has been on their radar for several months.

The club is also considering Jonathan David, a striker from Lille, who is set to become a free agent soon. His entourage has been approached, and he has even taken a tour of the city to weigh his options.

Alejandro Garnacho, a player who has fallen out with Manchester United, is also on Napoli's transfer list.
