Napoli Italian club is living a state of tension regarding the future of the Belgian duo Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, amid the administration's desire to rearrange the team's ranks before the start of the new season.
According to what was reported in the newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Lukaku has fallen out of the club's calculations after his relationship with the administration deteriorated since last season, especially after he refused to return to Napoli to complete his rehabilitation program.
The newspaper added that Napoli is seeking to sell the Belgian striker during the summer transfer window for a sum ranging between 10 and 12 million euros, even though the player does not want to reduce his salary, while he still believes in his ability to regain his starting position.
In contrast, uncertainty also surrounds the future of Kevin De Bruyne, after he entered into disputes with the club due to his public criticism of Conte's playing style, confirming that he was unable to play in his preferred position and that he missed enjoying football during the past season.
Despite the sports director Giovanni Manna confirming that the player is tied to an ongoing contract and there is no crisis, reports indicate that the new coach Massimiliano Allegri will decide De Bruyne's position after his return to training, without guarantees of his continuation as a starter.
La Gazzetta dello Sport pointed out that intermediaries are currently working to find a new destination for De Bruyne, with interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which makes his departure during the summer mercato a possible prospect.
Napoli appears to be heading into a hot summer, amid attempts to settle the future of two of the most prominent stars of the Belgian national team, amid the club's desire to ease financial burdens and rebuild the team under Allegri's leadership.
