Kevin De Bruyne

Widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, De Bruyne won six Premier League titles and the 2022–23 Champions League at Manchester City before joining Napoli in 2025, earning 119 caps and 37 goals for Belgium.

De Bruyne progressed through Gent and Genk before limited opportunities at Chelsea prompted a move to Wolfsburg, where he won the 2015 DFB-Pokal and the German Footballer of the Year award. Manchester City signed him for £55 million in 2015, beginning a decade-long partnership that produced six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five EFL Cups and the 2022–23 Champions League.

Pep Guardiola described him as one of the greatest players in Premier League history. He joined Napoli on a free transfer in 2025 after leaving City. With Belgium he accumulated 119 caps and 37 goals, helping the side finish third at the 2018 World Cup.
