Kevin De Bruyne may leave Napoli in January as Juventus plot overhaul

Kevin De Bruyne may depart Napoli in the January window as he eyes a move to MLS, while AC Milan and Roma continue to monitor Real Madrid’s Endrick for a possible loan or transfer. Meanwhile Italy’s Azzurri prepare for their final Nations League match tonight at the San Siro against France, hoping to finish the campaign on a high.

Juventus plot winter overhaul

Giovanni Carnevali is already working to strengthen Massimiliano Spalletti’s Juventus side, which sit seventh with eighteen points. On the left flank the club’s dream target is Balde, but more realistic options are Atalanta’s Bernasconi and Tottenham’s Udogie, with Bernasconi valued at around €25 million. In midfield Juventus are eyeing Sassuolo’s Bakola, a deal that could be struck in January for €25–30 million before a summer move.

Hojbjerg remains on the list as an immediate reinforcement, while Spalletti has also identified Napoli’s Anguissa as a target, a deal described as particularly difficult.

Transfer targets and fitness updates

AC Milan are assessing attacking reinforcements ahead of the January window; Endrick could leave Real Madrid in search of regular playing time and is open to a loan move. The Rossoneri are tracking him, but Roma currently appear ahead, with several English clubs also interested. Milan are also keen on Nicolò Tresoldi, a move backed by Gerry Cardinale, yet Club Brugge intend to keep the striker until at least the end of the season, complicating a January departure if they reach the next Champions League stage.

Endrick wants to move in January, Roma and Milan race for €60 million

Inter have received encouraging news on Marcus Thuram’s fitness after he left the France camp with a muscle problem; tests have ruled out an injury, citing only muscle fatigue. The club hope to have the French striker back for the match against Atalanta on 22 November, after he has already scored six goals this season, and he will continue an individual training programme before rejoining team training. Lautaro Martinez’s return also adds reassurance to Inter’s attack.

Napoli have no intention of exercising the unilateral option to extend De Bruyne’s contract, which expires in June, and would not block a transfer request, aiming to reduce the wage bill and free squad places. The Belgian is reportedly considering a move to MLS, though no official word has been released and he remains focused on securing a place in Belgium’s Euro 2028 squad.

Roma continue to monitor Endrick, who is reportedly ready to ask to leave Real Madrid if he does not receive more playing time; Real Madrid would demand more than €60 million for a permanent transfer, a figure that complicates Roma’s plans. The situation will be reassessed in January to determine whether a realistic chance of bringing the Brazilian to the Italian capital exists.
