Former Napoli head coach Rafa Benitez commented on Kevin De Bruyne’s transfer to the Partenopei.
"His talent was easy to see back at Wolfsburg. And his career has confirmed that. He has a trophy shelf that has everything. But above all, he has the authority that is an absolute guarantee.
He joins a team that knows it is strong — having proven that by winning the Scudetto two months ago. He will bring not only experience but also undeniable talent that his age cannot diminish.
Thirty-four years may be a topic for discussion, but players continue their careers and maintain their performance levels. And then De Bruyne, whose latest stats are worth a look, had a packed season during which he never seemed to fade,” Benitez is quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
