Former Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne could make a sensational return to the Premier League, with Everton reportedly interested in signing the Belgian during the January transfer window.
The Toffees have reportedly made contact with the 35-year-old’s representatives to explore the possibility of bringing him back to English football.
De Bruyne left Manchester City in the summer of 2025 after spending 10 years at the Etihad Stadium, joining Italian champions Napoli.
However, his future at Napoli has come under speculation, with Everton now considering an opportunity to secure his services.
According to Italian publication Calciomercato, Everton have initiated discussions with the midfielder’s representatives as they assess the possibility of a January move.
Napoli, however, would have to agree to his departure, as De Bruyne’s contract with the Serie A side runs until 2027, with an option for an additional year.
The Belgian enjoyed a remarkable spell at Manchester City, winning six Premier League titles and establishing himself as one of the finest midfielders in the competition’s history.
He made 288 Premier League appearances for City, contributing almost 200 goals and assists before ending his decade-long stay at the club.
A move to Everton would offer De Bruyne another opportunity to showcase his quality in the English top flight, although the possibility of a deal remains uncertain.
