Big news! Naples pursues De Bruyne with all his strength: 8 million annual salary after tax, aiming at the Champions League revival

Recently, the European transfer market has been in trouble again! According to exclusive news in the entire market, Serie A powerhouse Naples is launching a lightning offensive to Manchester City midfielder core De Bruyne with a sincere offer. As the Belgian superstar’s contract with Blue Moon enters the countdown, the battle surrounding the top midfield has quietly heated up.

Naples's sincerity list and vision are double temptations

Under the personal promotion of Chairman De Laurentis, Naples sports director Giovanni Manna has submitted a specific proposal to the De Bruyne team: a "2+1" structure of an annual after-tax salary of 8 million euros, of which the third year is a performance-linked renewal option, and is also paired with a rare high signing fee in football.

Although this salary level is significantly different from its annual income of 14 million euros in the Premier League, Naples has launched a "combination punch" - using the competitiveness of the Champions League + the charm of urban life + the core position of Conte's tactical strategy to build differentiated advantages.

club senior management particularly emphasized that De Bruyne will become the absolute midfielder of Conte's tactical system, and shoulder the mission of leading this veteran team who once won two Serie A championships back to the top of Europe. We are not building a team, but building an era. Manner told the players team during negotiations.

Competition between Saudi Arabia's gold dollar and North American comfort zone

Currently, there are at least three weights on the transfer balance of De Bruyne: the "oil gold dollar" in the Middle East, the "oldering package" in North America, and the "contest of honor" in Europe.

According to reliable sources, Saudi clubs have offered sky-high contracts with annual salary of more than 30 million euros after tax, and the MEF and the Asian League are also trying to attract them to join with the convenience of life.

But for this 32-year-old midfielder who is still in his peak period, it is obviously more attractive to continue the competitiveness of the Champions League - Napoli just reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, the team's lineup is young and full of impact, which is highly consistent with De Bruyne's demand to "finish his career with trophy".

It is worth noting that the Naples negotiating team has held multiple rounds of direct dialogue with the player's father, Hervigh and his legal counsel.

Italian media revealed that De Bruyne's team showed a strong interest in the living environment of Naples, the "Sunshine City", and the tactical positioning of the "offensive and defensive transformation hub" created by Conte made the Belgians see the perfect adaptation of their personal technical characteristics and the team system.

When 30+ superstars face the choice of "honor and money", the Naples case reflects the survival wisdom of traditional European giants - under the impact of Saudi Arabia's gold and dollar, using "competitive ambition + cultural identity" to build differentiated competitiveness may be the ultimate code to retain top stars.

Behind this transfer game is the fierce collision between modern football business logic and sports spirit.
