Everton Explore January Move for Former Manchester City Star Kevin De Bruyne

Everton are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing former Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne during the January transfer window, potentially bringing the Belgian back to the Premier League.

The Toffees have reportedly contacted the 35-year-old's representatives to discuss a possible move as they assess the opportunity to strengthen their squad with his experience and quality.

Everton Make Contact Over Possible Transfer

According to Italian publication Calciomercato, Everton have initiated discussions with De Bruyne's representatives over a potential January transfer.

The midfielder joined Napoli in the summer of 2025 after spending 10 years at Manchester City. However, speculation surrounding his future in Italy has opened the possibility of a return to English football.

Any potential deal would depend on Napoli's willingness to release him, as his contract with the Italian club runs until 2027, with an option for an additional year.

De Bruyne's Successful Premier League Career

De Bruyne enjoyed a remarkable decade at Manchester City, winning six Premier League titles and establishing himself as one of the competition's most influential midfielders.

He made 288 Premier League appearances for City, contributing almost 200 goals and assists before ending his spell at the Etihad Stadium in 2025.

A move to Everton would give the Belgian another opportunity to demonstrate his ability in the English top flight, although discussions remain at an exploratory stage and a transfer is not guaranteed.
