&lt;p&gt;Aurelio De Laurentiis made Kevin De Bruyne’s signing official with a welcome message on the social platform X.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Serie A will be the new home of a timeless champion, ready to embrace a player that has made generations of fans dream across Europe, no matter what team you support. The acronym &lt;strong&gt;KDB &lt;/strong&gt;has become synonymous with pure class and precision: a living metaphor of footballing beauty and tactical perfection. For many (including his former manager Pep Guardiola and his new boss Antonio Conte) De Bruyne is the embodiment of a &lt;strong&gt;total footballer&lt;/strong&gt;, capable of getting involved in every phase of play: from breaking up play, to passing, and then to scoring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;04a74de4-34ee-4556-98e1-ed379d20ac4d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;04a74de4-34ee-4556-98e1-ed379d20ac4d&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/97a9dff8-1c97-47b4-9ada-50a91972690a/Sito_HERO_kdb_city.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;04a74de4-34ee-4556-98e1-ed379d20ac4d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;04a74de4-34ee-4556-98e1-ed379d20ac4d&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Born on 28 June 1991 in Drognen, a neighbourhood in Gent in East Flanders, De Bruyne grew as a footballer with &lt;strong&gt;Gent&lt;/strong&gt;, making his debut at 17 years old, getting his first appearances in the Champions League, and winning the Belgian title in 2010/11. After a great season with &lt;strong&gt;Weder Brema&lt;/strong&gt;, that helped prove himself to the wide Bundesliga fanbase, in 2013 he moved to &lt;strong&gt;Chelesa&lt;/strong&gt;. However, he ended up with a complicated relationship with José Mourinho and after just three appearances in the Premier League, he headed back to Germany, this time with &lt;strong&gt;Wolfsburg&lt;/strong&gt;. In the 2014/15 season, he definitively proved his worth: alongside emerging talents like Schürrle and Perišić, he led the Wolves of Saxony to second place in the league with ten goals and 21 assists. In the Europa League, he scored a brace against Inter in the Round of 16 and made it to the quarter-finals where they lost against Benítez’s Napoli.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;075bec25-4aad-4998-b857-096791f486a8&#34; data-image-id=&#34;075bec25-4aad-4998-b857-096791f486a8&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/d1975dfe-7111-42c0-94f2-557b28991a7b/Sito_HERO_kdb_wolf.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;075bec25-4aad-4998-b857-096791f486a8&#34; data-image-id=&#34;075bec25-4aad-4998-b857-096791f486a8&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once again, the Premier League was calling, and the next summer, &lt;strong&gt;Manchester City &lt;/strong&gt;brought him back to England. Firstly under &lt;strong&gt;Manuel Pellegrini&lt;/strong&gt;, and then with &lt;strong&gt;Guardiola &lt;/strong&gt;in charge, De Bruyne simply took off: he was the Catalan coach’s alter ego in midfield with his tactical intelligence and technical quality. Elegant, powerful and precise: KDB is the perfect architect of attacking play. Capable of sitting back and dictating play or pushing forward and creating chances, he is the king of &lt;strong&gt;assists&lt;/strong&gt;, but also a lethal finisher, both from open play or from dead balls, with either foot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;d80ce232-ab65-42b9-a5c1-62b2573f2eda&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d80ce232-ab65-42b9-a5c1-62b2573f2eda&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/31be986d-75b1-48ba-bab5-8fa593636589/Sito_HERO_kdb_cl.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;d80ce232-ab65-42b9-a5c1-62b2573f2eda&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d80ce232-ab65-42b9-a5c1-62b2573f2eda&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;His decade with City is full of both individual and team successes: with &lt;strong&gt;6 Premier Leagues &lt;/strong&gt;to his name, in 2022-23 he added the most precious trophy of them all to his collection: the &lt;strong&gt;Champions League &lt;/strong&gt;which he had a big part in with two assists in the first leg against Real Madrid in the semi-finals. His most prolific season, however, is the year before with 19 goals in all competitions. In the 2019/20 season, he matched Thierry Henry’s record number of assists in a single campaign with 20. At the end of 10 incredible years, he has racked up &lt;strong&gt;108 goals and 177 assists&lt;/strong&gt;, 110 of which in the &lt;strong&gt;Premier League&lt;/strong&gt;, becoming one of the players with the most assists in the history of the English league.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;7bd952ff-0eb7-4d36-abea-52725adcb7e9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7bd952ff-0eb7-4d36-abea-52725adcb7e9&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3d9a396d-a84e-4dcc-a144-3240e7d87ade/Sito_HERO_kdb_belgium.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;7bd952ff-0eb7-4d36-abea-52725adcb7e9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7bd952ff-0eb7-4d36-abea-52725adcb7e9&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;For his nation, De Bruyne was one of the main assets of the Belgian “&lt;strong&gt;Golden Generation&lt;/strong&gt;”, earning third place in the 2018 World Cup, the Red Devil’s best ever return in the competition.
