12 Aug
Summary
- Costantino Favasuli joins on loan with an obligation to buy.
- Benoit Badiashile is a transfer target from Chelsea.
- Napoli await decisions on Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca.
Napoli has completed the exits of Romelu Lukaku and Miguel Gutierrez, signaling a new phase of player acquisitions. Costantino Favasuli is expected to join Campania on a €1M loan, featuring a €6.2M obligation to buy, reinforcing the right-back role behind captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who is nearing a contract extension.
The club is also actively pursuing Benoit Badiashile from Chelsea. Napoli has proposed a €3M fee for a one-season loan and is negotiating an option to purchase. This move marks their sole defensive transfer negotiation currently.
While Lukaku's departure frees up resources, securing Gabriel Jesus remains uncertain. The club's offensive depth depends on the potential exits of Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca, with Ajax reportedly interested in the winger. The potential acquisition of Gabriel Jesus is valued at €20M, whereas Ezequiel Zeballos is nearing a €7.5M move to Celta Vigo.
