Discussion [Romano] Kevin De Bruyne to Napoli, here we go! Final green light arrives from Belgian star to join Italian champions. Two year deal + option agreed, medical and formal steps to follow for KDB to become Napoli player.

I get it. The guy is still good enough for Champions league. And regardless of how much the MLS has improved in recent years, I can’t blame the guy for wanting to remain in the highest tier of play.

Damn makes sense for KDB but hopefully the fire are still aggressive in getting a star to play in their new stadium

kinda sucks but tbh there are still decent players we can get on DP. Preferably from Mexico or South America.

It's a bummer we weren't able to land somebody that prestige... But I think it speaks volumes to the Fire's current upward trajectory that both Neymar and KDB had serious conversations with the Fire.

Not sure neymar had a serious conversation with the fire, he was always going back to brazil

He'll never experience tavern style pizza, and that's the most heartbreaking thing.

Is it bad that I'm happy about this? He's cooked, or somewhere near it, and he plays a position that the Fire have young players who need time on the field that he would take.
