The Brazilian winger could wear the blue jersey and a sudden turn in the deal changes the possible outcome of the negotiation
For a few months now, Paixao’s name has been mentioned to Napoli as a possible reinforcement for next season. A profile that would tease the partenopei and bring a breath of fresh air in view of the coming year. It will be necessary to be competitive, not only in the league, but also in the Coppa Italia (avoiding choices like those of this year) and especially in the super Champions League.
The return to the Europe that counts will push the Azzurri to give their all, also raising the level of performance. Therefore, an even improved squad will be needed that can prove equal to top-level opponents. That is why Paixao is one of the profiles approached to the team and observed by the Neapolitan management.
Paixao al Napoli, la svolta nell’affare: cresce un’attesa importante
According to reports from Il Mattino, Napoli has reportedly decided to speed up operations to bring Paixao to the Azzurri shirt. The player has scored an impressive 18 goals and 19 assists this season. Very important numbers, with 2 goals and 5 assists also in the Champions League. Among the goals scored, also one at AC Milan, eliminated precisely by Feyenoord during the competition.

Used primarily as a left winger, the Brazilian represents a very interesting name to become Kvaratskhelia’s true replacement in that area of the field. With Neres he would form an all-Brazilian pair of the highest level. Paixao is in fact 24 years old and will turn 25 in June, turning out to be in the prime of his football maturity.
Even a trequartista if needed, he has a contract valid until 2029 with the Dutch and his price tag is around 30 million euros. According to Il Mattino, Napoli is expecting the player’s emissaries in town in the coming days. The idea is to understand the player’s request and then move on to discussions with Feyenoord.
Negotiations will surely turn on in the coming weeks, only after the season is over. Not only that, but in parallel Napoli is also pursuing those for De Bruyne and David, which are a priority at the moment. Paixao remains there, among the hottest names to be dealt with, with the will to close the negotiation in the best possible way.
