PSV Eindhoven is attempting to pull off one of January’s biggest transfer surprises; the club has set its sights on Kevin De Bruyne, and is seriously considering bringing the 35-year-old Belgian star to the Netherlands.
According to the Eindhovens Dagblad, PSV officials have already held high-level talks with the player’s representatives; he currently plays for Napoli. The Eindhoven club believes that De Bruyne can bring tremendous quality and experience to its midfield, making him an excellent addition for the second half of the season.

The matter is still in the early stages and no final agreement has been reached, but there is optimism at PSV that the transfer can go through. In fact, the Belgian international is reportedly open to the idea of moving to the Dutch league, though he has not yet made a final decision about his future.
One factor that could help PSV’s efforts is the presence of Edi Pepels on the team’s medical staff. Pepels has been working with De Bruyne for years on the Belgian national team and maintains a close relationship with him. The biggest obstacle, however, remains financial, as such a transfer would require a significant increase in the budget, particularly in terms of salary.
