Back in Italy last summer, Antonio Conte has already led the Napoli to the title in 2025. A time close to a return to Juventus, the Italian technician finally swore loyalty to the Partenopei. It must be said that its president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, promised him a transfer window at the height of his ambitions. Kevin de Bruyne, at the end of the contract at Manchester City, landed a few days ago. The Belgian will bring his talent and precision, as well as his solid experience. He is not the only one to have joined the ranks of the Italian formation since Noa Lang, Sam Beukema or Lorenzo Lucca notably signed.

The Transalpine stable does not intend to stop there and will still seek to improve. In the offensive sector, a recruit is expected in particular. And the list of players followed is long like the arm. THE CORRIERE DELLO SPORT explains that the priority is still and always Dan Ndoye. For the Bologna player, Naples offered a paying loan of € 9 million, with a purchase option set at € 26 million and bonuses of € 5 million. This makes an operation at 40 M € in total. An offer rejected but the Italian champions intend to return to the charge.

Sterling is in the viewfinder

But they must deal with the competition from Nottingham Forest, which did not offer more than 30 M € when Bologna wants 45. On its side, the Napoli advances in parallel on other tracks in the event that it does not go to its end. This Friday, the CORRIERE DELLO SPORT And Sky Italia assure that Raheem Sterling is followed. The Englishman did not convince during his loan to Arsenal and he returned to Chelsea, where he was shown the exit door. The Blues wish a sale of English, which is also on the tablets of Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen.

The 30 -year -old, the footballer under contract until 2027 Emarge at 367,000 euros per week in Chelsea. He will have to make financial efforts to find a fall point. Still in the Premier League, Jack Grealish is also in Naples' little papers. The Englishman no longer enters the plans of Pep Guardiola, who had not summoned her for the Club World Cup. The former Aston Villa player, who trains with a physical trainer on his side, is waiting for his case to settle. In addition to the Premier League, the Napoli is still there ensures Sky Italia.

Other tracks in Europe

Federico Chiesa, who is courted in Italy, would still be an option according to the Gazzetta dello Sport. But the Liverpool player should lower his salary claims to join the troops of Antonio Conte. Like him, Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad) and Armand Lauriente (Sassuolo), whose transfer to Sunderland fell into the water, are present in the short-list of Naples according to Sky Italia. Ready to pamper Conte, from Laurentiis, who is counting on sales including that of Osimhen, is still likely to spoil it in the coming weeks.
