Napoli, no Lorenzo Pellegrini: the Azzurri set their sights on another target and there’s a star in their sights
Napoli’s 2025 starts in the best possible way, with a spectacular victory against Fiorentina on the first day of the year. A 3-0 win that made noise, especially because of the quality of the performance and the important signatures on the goals: Neres, Lukaku and McTominay netted the goals that sealed a match dominated from the first to the last minute.

A success that momentarily gives the team first place in solitary and makes them look optimistically to the future, not only in the league, but also on the market front. The victory, in fact, comes at a crucial moment for the Azzurri, who are ready to get serious about the upcoming challenges, but also to improve the squad with new grafts.
And while all the attention is on what happens on the field, Napoli’s market does not stop moving. The club is already planning moves to reinforce the team, with a focus on two departments that need adjustments: defense and midfield.
Il mercato del Napoli: due obiettivi caldi
One of the most talked about topics is the negotiation for Lorenzo Pellegrini, Roma’s midfielder. Despite the market rumors, Sky Sport has denied that there have been any concrete contacts between Napoli and Roma for the player.
At the moment, therefore, the hypothesis of seeing Pellegrini in the Azzurri jersey appears distant, although, as always in the soccer market, nothing is ever really defined until the very last. Both teams, in fact, seem to have already put other alternatives in their sights to strengthen their respective rosters.
Indeed, Napoli is already active on several fronts and needs a midfielder who can bring quality and freshness to the department. In this sense, Empoli’s Fazzini is a name that is becoming increasingly hot. Born in 2003, the young Tuscan talent is a profile that fits perfectly into Napoli’s plans, not only for his technical qualities, but also for another reason: he would occupy the Under box in the list for Serie A, a fundamental aspect in order not to exceed the limits imposed by the regulations.

There is no shortage of competition, however, and Lazio set off early to try to close the deal, proposing an 18-month onerous loan with a buy-back obligation. However, Lazio failed to convince Empoli, which found the offer too low. Therefore, Napoli has raised it and is now waiting to see how the situation will evolve. Fazzini’s valuation is around 15 million euros, and if Empoli were to sell, the blue club would not let such a lucrative opportunity pass them by.

In addition to Fazzini, another name that has attracted Napoli’s interest is Sudakov, a midfielder from Shakhtar Donetsk. However, the road is more complicated for this operation, and it is not yet clear whether there will be room for an agreement. Nevertheless, the Azzurri management continues to monitor various profiles, looking for the right reinforcement.
Il mercato dei difensori: Danilo e non solo
In these early days of the market, Napoli is trying to move cautiously but decisively. Besides the midfield, another department under observation is the defense. The hottest name right now is Juventus defender Danilo, who has given his consent to a possible transfer, but the deal needs Juventus’ okay to materialize. Napoli is confident that the situation will unblock soon, but it is not leaving out other options, such as Empoli’s Ismajli, in case Danilo’s transfer does not go through.
The soccer market, as we know, is an ever-changing world. Every day can bring news and surprises, and in the Napoli household there is the intention to get serious about improving the team, while not forcing operations. The future, with the right moves, could hold more excitement for Naples fans. How will this market race end? Will Pellegrini be the one to wear blue, or will Napoli opt for alternatives such as Fazzini? All that remains is to closely follow developments in the coming weeks.
