Aurelio De Laurentiis drops the bombshell, and he does it at the start of the parade. Today his Napoli will travel along the entire seafront and through the city on two open-top buses, in the presence of more than 200,000 people.

The city is celebrating an achievement that at the beginning of the year seemed impossible and that now, instead, is reality. As we mentioned, however, the Azzurri president is already at work planning for next season. On the transfer market, the dream has one name: Kevin De Bruyne.

The Manchester City playmaker will leave the Etihad in a few weeks and will be free to sign with any club. As is now well known, Napoli has made a decisive move for the Belgian, and now they are reportedly very close to reaching an agreement. He is set to receive a contract worth 6 million net per season, plus a signing bonus of around 10 million.

To confirm the negotiations and the now imminent green light was De Laurentiis himself, live on Rai 2 right from the Napoli parade:

"Will De Bruyne lift the cup too? Probably yes. I know he should have already bought a beautiful villa. This morning I connected with him, his wife, and his son, it was a wonderful sight: a fantastic treble."

It couldn't be clearer...  At this point—according to the words of Napoli’s number one—all that’s left is to wait for the official announcement.
