Winter in Naples could free the Red Devil, Union takes advantage
While Napoli says it is ready to part ways with the Red Devil, Kevin De Bruyne, still under contract until the end of the season, could leave Italy this winter after recent controversies, Union Saint‑Gilloise already sees its midfielder, Adem Zorgane, signed until 2031 as a potential target.
Napoli's interest in De Bruyne
Napoli is said to have indicated it is ready to part with Kevin De Bruyne this winter, after the controversies that have shaken Italy in recent weeks. Such an exit would free up a midfield spot for new signings.
The Belgian remains under contract with the Italian club until the end of the season, with no extension on the agenda, which makes his departure this winter likely. This makes a transfer before the winter window plausible.
Journalist Nicolò Schira tweeted that De Bruyne's sale could happen as early as January. This suggests that negotiations could speed up at the start of the year.
PSV Eindhoven is said to have requested information about the Belgian midfielder, according to the same account. The Dutch side appears to be preparing a possible offer.
Everton, a Premier League club, is also reportedly interested and has already initiated initial contacts with the player's entourage. The English side could offer an immediate solution.
Napoli could, however, choose not to release De Bruyne before the end of the campaign, postponing any discussion until June. In this scenario, the player would stay in Naples until the end of the season.

Zorgane, target and signed at Union
In the event of the Red Devil's departure, it is reported that Napoli is considering Adem Zorgane as one of the options. Union would then have to look at replacing its midfielder.
Adem Zorgane recently signed a new contract with Union Saint‑Gilloise until 2031. This contract ties him to the Belgian club for the next ten years.
“I feel very comfortable at Union: the players, the staff, the rest of the personnel, this club is like my family,” the Belgian midfielder said. This statement reinforces his sense of belonging.
He nevertheless makes clear he does not rule out a departure, the extension of his contract testifying to his well‑being at the club. He therefore remains open to offers.

He adds that it is hard to turn down a club like Napoli showing interest in you. This pressure could eventually push him to accept.
Among the other players targeted by Napoli are Mamoudou Coulibaly, Darryl Bakola and Lucien Agoumé. The club is thus exploring several options to strengthen its squad.
Thus, Napoli's winter transfer window could shake both De Bruyne's future and Adem Zorgane's, leaving their destinations uncertain.
