Former PSV player Marc Degryse believes Kevin De Bruyne could thrive at Eindhoven, adding his voice to the growing discussion surrounding a possible move from Napoli.

The Belgian midfielder has become a major talking point in the Netherlands and Belgium in recent days, with PSV reportedly interested in securing his services. Although De Bruyne remains under contract with Napoli until the summer of 2027, speculation is mounting that he could leave the Italian club as early as the upcoming winter transfer window.

Degryse, a former Belgian international and PSV player, believes a return to Dutch football would make sense for both De Bruyne and his family. Speaking on Belgian broadcaster VTM during the pre-match coverage of Thursday's Nations League meeting between Turkey and Belgium, he explained why Eindhoven could be an attractive destination.

“I think he can be very happy there, also because it's closer to home. That's the family aspect, but he can also flourish there sportively, too. PSV only thinks about attacking. We saw that again last week against Club Brugge,” Degryse said.

A key attraction for De Bruyne could be PSV's approach under head coach Peter Bosz. The Dutch side's emphasis on attacking football and possession may offer the experienced playmaker an environment suited to his strengths.

Degryse believes the combination of PSV's footballing philosophy and the opportunity to live closer to Belgium could make the move particularly appealing.

The geographical factor has also featured prominently in reports from Belgium. Het Laatste Nieuws reported earlier this week that De Bruyne would be open to joining PSV, with the possibility of relocating his family to Bolderberg an important consideration.

“De Bruyne is interested in PSV. Dutch football and the offensive vision of PSV coach Peter Bosz not only match perfectly with the way he thinks about the game, it would also allow De Bruyne to move back to Belgium with his family, in particular to Bolderberg. From there, it is only a three-quarter-hour drive to Eindhoven,” the newspaper reported, as quoted by PSV Inside.

PSV are understood to be monitoring De Bruyne's situation as they consider whether an opportunity could emerge during the winter window. His contract with Napoli runs until 2027, but the growing speculation suggests his future in Italy is far from settled.

Degryse's comments add further weight to the idea that PSV could represent an appealing option for the Belgian international. The prospect of playing under Bosz, combined with the chance to be closer to his family, gives the Dutch club a potentially persuasive case.

However, there is still no confirmation of an agreement between the clubs or a completed transfer. For now, PSV's interest and De Bruyne's reported openness to the move keep the possibility firmly in the conversation.
