A new name pops up for Napoli’s attack of the future: deputy David Neres may be Brazilian, here’s how much he costs
For the entire month of January, Napoli has been trying to acquire Kvaratskhelia’s replacement, only getting as far as finalizing Okafor’s loan deal. The AC Milan striker can be redeemed at the end of the season if the blue club wants. Meanwhile, Manna is looking for a new striker and is tracking the performance of a Brazilian in the Netherlands who arrived in Europe for only 4.5 million euros.
The left flank of the future could dance the samba. David Neres is a certainty to bet on again next season. Now there is to fix the department, and Napoli’s sporting director is reportedly targeting Igor Paixao, who has some points in common with his fellow countryman. Both have landed in the Old Continent thanks to the Dutch league.

While Neres was born in southern Brazil and was bought by Ajax, where he was appreciated for his potential, dribbling, and good goal-scoring skills, Igor was born in the north of the country and following his youth experiences at Coritiba was taken by Feyenoord in 2022. After three years he is looking for a new adventure.

According to today’s edition of Il Mattino, Igor Paixao’s brokers have reportedly arrived in Naples in recent days. The player recently featured in Champions League matches against Inter Milan and AC Milan. It was precisely against the Rossoneri that he scored in the first leg match at de Kuip. A goal that had a very important impact on Feyenoord’s passage to the round.
The post-Kvara, then, could speak Portuguese. Napoli is willing to spend about 25 million euros for Igor Paixao, but the Rotterdam club is asking for 35 million. The parties will update in the near future, but the presence of the player’s intermediaries in the city bodes well. What’s more, Roma is also on the South American’s trail.
In addition, the newspaper explains that the trail for Garnacho seems to have cooled almost permanently. The attitude of the Manchester United striker’s managers did not please the Neapolitan leadership. They are veering to other profiles, just like the class of 2000 Igor Paixao.
