Kevin De Bruyne's move to Napoli surprised me because I remember he said he would go to Arabia to earn money.
It's an important transfer for Napoli, they want to strengthen their squad with a few players and do well in the Champions League.
It wasn’t a direct statement of him actually going to Saudi Pro League but rather it was rhetoric, he was asked if he would consider going there and his reply was that why wouldn’t he be considering such when he has won everything that there is to win in European club football and he added that even if he is going there is he going because of the high wages and he feels he deserves it because of the work he has done over the years.
The move though was out of the moon for me because I wasn’t expecting a club like Napoli to be able to afford his wages right now, the deal though is a very good deal for both parties, Napoli actually needs someone very creative and if not because of his age there has never been one better than De Bruyne over the last few seasons. Also his age wouldn’t be a barrier in Seria A because they play football that is not as fast as the EPL and he can adapt so well in their
