I've thought the whole Kevin De Bruyne move to Napoli was a pretty bold choice. You'd think after all those trophies at Manchester City, plus offers from the MLS with probably more money and an easier league, he'd want to just take it easy, right? But honestly, I feel like Kevin just doesn't want to slow down. Choosing Napoli proves he wants to keep playing at the highest level.

From what I read, after a decade at City and winning everything, maybe he didn’t feel as hungry for the Premier League anymore. Napoli, being recent Serie A champs, needed someone exactly like him in midfield. Plus he's got his Belgium buddy Lukaku there, which must make life and football more fun.

If it were me, I'd probably do the same. Why go to the US and fade away when you can battle for titles in Italy and stay sharp for the Belgium national team? It’s gutsy, and I respect that he didn’t just pick the easy or obvious choice. I’m honestly excited to see what he does at Napoli!
