De Bruyne joins, the defending Serie A champion adds another strong support! Benfica buys Roma left-back Dahl

Naples Club officially announced on social media on Thursday local time in Italy that "Kev is here", 33-year-old Belgian star De Bruyne joined in a free transfer. The two sides signed a two-year contract and have the right to choose to extend the season for another season.

De Bruyne's contract with Premier League giants Manchester City expires at the end of this month, so in addition to broker commissions and signing fees, Naples can introduce the 33-year-old Belgian offensive midfielder for free. De Bruyne arrived in Rome on Thursday and underwent a physical examination arranged by the defending Serie A champion.

The medical examination in Rome is not surprising, and Naples usually conducts physical examinations on their new signing players at Villa Stua in Rome. At the entrance of the clinic, several fans were already waiting for the arrival of the Belgian star. After passing the medical examination, De Bruyne went to Chairman De Laurentis's headquarters in Film Auro in the capital to sign a two-year contract, including an option to extend it for another year.

De Bruyne played for Manchester City for 10 years, playing 422 games in various competitions, scoring 108 goals and sending 177 assists. He has won several trophies under Guardiola, including 1 Champions League, 6 Premier League titles, two FA Cup titles, and 5 League Cup titles.

De Bruyne also played 111 times for the Belgian national team and scored 31 goals. In addition, he has also played for Genk, Chelsea, Wolfsburg and other teams.

After joining Naples, De Bruyne will play side by side with his teammate Lukaku in the Belgian national team.

Roma Club officially announced on its official website that the 22-year-old Swedish left-back Samuel Dal will permanently transfer to Benfica, but did not disclose the specific buyout fee.

At the beginning of the 2024-25 season, Dahl transferred to Roma from the domestic team Jurgaden, with a transfer fee of 4 million euros, plus a surcharge of 2 million yuan.

However, this season, the Red Wolves have been in turmoil and unstable. They have experienced three coaches, De Rossi, Yuric and Ranieri. Dahl has only played for Roma three times, twice in the Serie A and once in the Italian Cup, a total of 60 minutes.

Dal was loaned to Benfica at this year's winter transfer window, with a loan fee of 600,000 euros. It is reported that the Portuguese Super League club can pay 10 million to buy out its ownership. According to Thursday's news, the Rome Club gave the other party a small discount, and Benfica eventually bought out Dahl for 9 million.

In the second half of this season, Dahl played 18 games for Benfica and contributed 6 assists. Benfica signed a four-year contract with 22-year-old Dahl until the summer of 2029.

As a left-back, Dahl has played twice for the Swedish national team so far.

Inter Milan Club officially confirmed the jersey numbers of the two new players: Croatian midfielder Petal Sucic chose the No. 8 jersey, while Brazilian winger Luis Enrique took over the No. 11 jersey.

Before the FIFA club World Cup, the Nerazzurri had introduced two players: midfielder Sucic from Dynamo Greb and winger Luis Enrique from Marseille, both of whom were permanently transferred. Both of them signed a five-year contract until the summer of 2030.

Now Inter Milan has confirmed that Sucic is wearing a No. 8 jersey in his first season with the Nerazzurri, while Luis Enrique will wear a No. 11 jersey.

Sucic's No. 8 jersey originally belonged to forward Marco Arnautovic. The Austrian star has confirmed that he will leave the club after his contract expires on June 30.

Inter Milan's No. 11 jersey last season belonged to Joaquin Correa. After the contract with the Nerazzurri expired, the Argentinian joined the Brazilian club Botavogo in a free transfer.
