SSC Napoli marks centenary as Hamsik speaks and De Bruyne linked to Galatasaray
Former captain Marek Hamsik and club legend Giuseppe Bruscolotti addressed fans from the stage in Piazza del Plebiscito during SSC Napoli’s centenary celebrations. Hamsik said he felt “honoured” to wear the captain’s armband and noted he was closing in on the appearance record set by Bruscolotti. Bruscolotti recalled handing the armband to Diego Maradona, a gesture he said helped the club win its first Scudetto.
Hamsik also praised Kevin De Bruyne, calling the Belgian midfielder “one of the strongest offensive midfielders of this century” and urging Napoli to enjoy his talent. Meanwhile, transfer reports claim Galatasaray are preparing a two‑year contract offer for De Bruyne, who has reportedly grown frustrated with Napoli’s tactics under Antonio Conte and Max Allegri. The Belgian has made 21 appearances for Napoli, scoring five goals and providing four assists in his first season.
