Kevin De Bruyne has moved quickly to soothe any concerns among Napoli supporters, sending a clear message after Belgium's elimination from the 2026 World Cup. The playmaker, who has been instrumental in club football, took to social media to address the Partenopei faithful directly.
“I'll be back,” De Bruyne posted, alongside an image of himself in a Napoli training kit. “Thank you for all the support during the World Cup. Now it's time to rest and then come back stronger next season.”
The 35-year-old Belgian captain was a key figure for his nation in the tournament, but the early exit has freed him to focus fully on his club commitments. De Bruyne joined Napoli in a high-profile move and is expected to be a central figure in their bid to reclaim the Serie A title.
Napoli supporters will be encouraged by the midfielder's immediate commitment, quashing any speculation that the World Cup disappointment might affect his club form. De Bruyne's fitness and creativity will be vital as the team prepares for the upcoming campaign under new management.
The message came just hours after Belgium's loss in the World Cup, with De Bruyne thanking fans for their backing and promising to return to Naples with renewed determination.
