After a historical exercise crowned by a long -awaited scudetto, the Napoli does not intend to rest on its laurels. Determined to settle permanently among the European Cadors, the Partenopeo club launched a major transfer window, animated by a clearly displayed ambition: building a carved team to dominate in Serie A and shine on the continental scene. The Neapolitan direction also struck a blow by managing to keep Antonio Conte on the bench, guarantor of a solid and conquering project. The Neapolitan transfer window has already taken on the appearance of a thunderbolt with the resounding arrival of Kevin de Bruyne, a true master to play Belgian, and that of Luca Marianucci, a young Italian prodigy promised to a golden future. These two reinforcements illustrate the will of the club to combine experience and youth to build a balanced and formidable training. With such recruits and a coach as charismatic as Conte, Naples sends a strong message: the conquest is just beginning. Napoli would be in full swing on the transfer market, exploring several exciting tracks.
On the offensive front, the name of Lorenzo Lucca d'Udinese returns regularly: after his nine goals this season, Roma and Naples would be ready to make an offer around € 25–30 million. On the side of Ademola Lookman, the winger of Atalanta followed for a while, rumors announced him ready to leave, with discussions in progress up to € 60 million. Juventus, Napoli and even English clubs are said to be in the ranks. Diagnosed as an offensive priority, Dan Ndoye de Bologne arouses very concrete interest: negotiations have taken up, with an assessment estimated at € 40 million, and Sam Beukema is also in the viewfinder to strengthen central defense. Still with a view to strengthening the attack or the offensive side, Kang – in Lee, tracked by tale last year remains mentioned. Likewise for Noa Lang, at a time when the player has already given the green light. The central offensive midfielder Yunus Musah is mentioned more modestly, but rumors remain tenuous and not very recent. Finally, Jonathan David du Losc would be a hot track according to CORRIERE DELLO SPORTwith a potential agreement already mentioned, although he is facing competition in Europe. But it is in the Premier League that the Neapolitan management takes great steps forward.
Agreements with 3 premier league stars
According to the Gazzetta dello SportNapoli obtained an agreement in principle from Darwin Núñez, who gave the green light to a transfer after being seduced by the project entrusted to Antonio Conte. The Uruguayan striker has expressed real interest, responding positively to the presentation of the new game scheme. Negotiations with Liverpool are now “in the heart of the matter”: the English club would be ready to sell its player, but claims a transfer around € 70 million and a salary adjustment (around € 5 million/year) to complete the operation. Napoli, aware of these financial requirements, would have made an initial offer of the order of € 42–43 million, seeking to lower the price while paying Núñez a reasonable sum. With the OK of the player and Liverpool's desire to discuss, the most decisive phase of the transaction has started: it only remains to find the economic compromise acceptable for both parties. Napoli has taken the lead on two files that could mark this transfer window: Jadon Sancho and Federico Chiesa are actively targeted and discussions gain in intensity.
On the side of Jadon Sancho, the English winger is back in Manchester United after a loan in Chelsea, but is not part of the plans of the Red Devils. Giovanni Manna, the Napolitan sports director, would work behind the scenes to finalize this transfer, faced with competition from Milan and Aston Villa. With its percussion capacities on the left wing, Sancho is perceived as a credible replacement for KVaratskhelia, who left for PSG. Conte would have specifically approved this track, convinced of its offensive qualities. As for Federico Chiesa, his return to Serie A seems to be envisaged in the form of a loan – an operation that the Napoli would have already presented in Liverpool, by proposing a loan with option to buy. Chiesa would be seduced by the idea of finding a convincing role of holder in the Champions League, and Conte would see in him an additional profile on the offensive flank. Negotiations are considered “very advanced”, even if the wage envelope and the modulation of the loan clause remain to be finalized. Naples prepares a transfer window which combines immediate ambition and bench depth, strengthening the workforce under tale in the prospect of reproducing the Scudetto feat.
