Napoli may have succeeded in its biggest transfer window. While it was announced very close to a return La Juventus, Antonio Conte finally chose to stay closer to Vesuvius than the Alps. “We have a contract, and since our visions for the future coincide, it is just to continue together: we are serious people, so we go ahead. In recent days, we have analyzed what has been done with good and less well: celebrate a scudetto with the Neapolitan people has been incredible, and our goal is to continue together to make these supporters ever more proud. »»
De Bruyne as the first recruit of choice
Excellent news for the supporters of the Partenopei who feared to relive the same scenario as in 2023 when Luciano Spalletti had left the ship after winning the title, before being replaced by Rudi Garcia. Conte, President Aurelio de Laurentiis must now honor his promises. In other words, if Antonio Conte agreed to continue the adventure, it is because he probably had guarantees for the transfer window. As a reminder, the Italian coach had been very marked by the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at PSG in the middle of the season. Out of the question of reliving such a scenario. Tale wants reinforcements of choice. And ADL will put the means to grant the wishes of his coach.
The Neapolitan newspaper Il Mattino indicates that a transfer window of € 200 million will be granted to Conte. An XXL envelope for a club and especially a president who is not used to giving in to the appetites of his coaches on the transfer window. Kevin de Bruyne will undoubtedly be the first Neapolitan recruit. The 33 -year -old Belgian will not be the most expensive reinforcement since he arrives free from any contract after ten years spent in Manchester City (108 goals, 177 assists in 422 matches). However, a contract of three with an annual salary of € 8 million as well as a bonus at the signing of € 10 million was offered to him. Another free player, Canadian scorer Jonathan David (25) also has to give his answer according to Il Corriere dello Sport. As a reminder, a four -year contract with an annual salary of € 6 million was offered to the former LOSC serial scorer (109 goals scored in 232 matches).
Napoli targets highly rated profiles
With a € 200 million transfer window budget, Napoli does not, however, recruit only players free from any contract. With such an envelope, the Partenopei do not forbid anything. For the attack, if David is missing, Il Corriere dello Sport Ensures that the profile of Moise Kean (Fiorentina) is studied, as is that of the coveted Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP). Finally, if KDB will strengthen the midfield, the sports director Giovanni Manna aims to replace KVaratskhelia. To do this, three names return to the columns of the Gazzetta dello Sport. Three names for which the Napoli had attempted its luck last January. The first is the Parisian Kang-in Lee. Scottered in the replacement bench in the French capital, the South Korean was put in the transferable list by the Red and Blue. Its starting price is located between 20 and 30 M €.
The second is the Dutch Neymar, Noa Lang. The Batavian comes out of a good season with the PSV (14 goals, 12 assists in 44 matches). A file that should cost more than that of the Parisian. Finally, the last name mentioned is unsurprisingly that of Edon Zhegrova. Free in 2026, Kosovar said to LOSC that it will not extend. Enough to force the DOGUES to accept a transfer this summer. Despite an absence of the land since December 2024, the Lille feu-follet remains highly appreciated by the Neapolitans. Estimated at 25 M €, Zhegrova has the capacity to be the new Dynamiteur of the Defenses of Serie A. Business to follow.
