De Bruyne scored during the weekend during his debut in the victory in Sassuolo.
Speaking with Corriere della Sera about his decision to move to Italy, the experienced midfielder said: “Napoli, the only real offer? No, the best option. There were many offers, but I chose the Italian champions, they play in the Champions League, and (Antonio) Conte is a large number of coach.
“If you are young, you only make decisions for yourself. Now I have also asked my children, the oldest is 10 and is in an important phase of development.”
The Belgian continued: “Then (Manchester) City decided not to renew my contract, I started to look around.
And for those who call him old, the 34-year-old answered: “I think I am more or less the same as I am 10 years ago. Maybe if you are younger, you are more dynamic, now I have more experience. You evolve as a player: I have my qualities, people know them, but also my weaknesses, like everyone.
“Football is my passion, and I don't want it to just be another job. If you enjoy it and put a smile on your face, you will eventually play better.”
