De Bruyne could be Napoli's key to keep Conte

ROME — It's no secret that Antonio Conte was extremely disappointed when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia left Napoli for Paris Saint-Germain in January.

So, it might take a big acquisition like Kevin De Bruyne to keep the demanding coach at the freshly crowned Serie A champion.

De Bruyne is at the top of Napoli's wish list, but there are no guarantees that the midfielder, who is leaving Manchester City after a decade, will land at the southern Italian club.
