Napoli ds Giovanni Manna already working to strengthen the team for the summer: assault on a Brazilian and a Japanese, from defense to attack all targets
Napoli, un giapponese e 30 milioni per il brasiliano: Manna costruisce una squadra stellare – SerieAnews
Napoli is preparing to be a major player ahead of the summer market, with a substantial amount of money to spend to strengthen the squad and aim even higher next season.
Aiming to meet Antonio Conte’s demands, the Azzurri management is working to reinforce various departments and enrich the team with new quality grafts. Among the main focuses is the midfield and the attack, where the club could make major investments to further boost the team.
Obiettivi del Napoli: rinforzi per il centrocampo e l’attacco
Napoli’s summer market will not only involve defensive reinforcements, but also attack and midfield. In particular, the focus is on some key negotiations that could give the team a new face. For the attack, the priority seems to be a new center forward to flank Lukaku, while the situation of Raspadori and Simeone still remains uncertain.

Indeed, the Azzurri management is considering several options, with one target in particular standing out: Lorenzo Lucca, Udinese’s center forward. Lucca has shown he has the qualities to play for a big team, and although his cost is around 35 million, his adaptability to Napoli’s game could justify the investment.
There is also interest in Lucca from English clubs such as Manchester United and West Ham, but if Napoli decides to accelerate, he could find himself in an advantageous position.
Not only Lucca: Napoli is also following other strikers, including Bonny, a young talent who has attracted the attention of Azzurri scouts, but at a lower cost than the Udinese striker. These reinforcements are designed to better complement Napoli’s attack and ensure that they can compete on multiple fronts next season.
Anguissa via? Frattesi nel mirino
In addition to offense, midfield is also a department that could see the arrival of new graft. Indeed, the situation related to Anguissa’s renewal is complicated, with the midfielder possibly leaving Naples at the end of the season. For this reason, the management is already looking for a quality player to replace him and give more depth to the midfield.

One name that has been circulating for some time is that of Davide Frattesi, a young talent from Inter Milan, who could be a great coup. Despite the Nerazzurri’s demand of 45 million, Napoli is ready to make a major investment to bring him to Conte’s court.
Paixao e Sugawara: i colpi del Napoli nel mercato estivo
In addition to the main targets for midfield and attack, Napoli is also monitoring two interesting profiles for the flanks. Feyenoord’s Igor Paixao is one of the most prominent players after a great Champions League run with his team.
The Brazilian has become a man in the market and Napoli recently conducted a survey to better understand his demands. The player’s valuation is around 30 million plus bonuses, but his technical qualities and ability to make a difference could justify the investment.

Milan fans will remember his outstanding performance in the first leg match against Feyenoord, which contributed decisively to the victory. Competition for Paixao is high, but Napoli seems determined to bet on him as a reinforcement for the flanks.
Finally, Napoli has its eye on Yukinari Sugawara, another interesting profile that could arrive in Italy next summer. The Japanese, who already attracted the attention of Inter Milan last year, is a high-quality outside player who could be a good fit for Napoli as a deputy for Di Lorenzo.
Southampton, the club that currently holds his price tag, is virtually relegated to the Championship, making the player’s transfer even more likely. For a fee of 12 million, Napoli could complete the deal and bring Sugawara to wear the Azzurri jersey, adding a fresh and quality element to the squad.
With these moves, Napoli is preparing to further strengthen its roster and embark on an ambitious market. All that remains is to see how far the management will go to accomplish these goals and prepare for a new season full of challenges.
