In the winter Calciomercato session, Napoli returns to Gabri Veiga: there is a particular reason for the new interest in the Spaniard
The opening of the winter soccer market session marks the beginning of a decisive month for Napoli. Today, Jan. 2, 2025, the Neapolitan club is preparing to intensify its activity in the market, with coach Antonio Conte having already indicated his priorities for strengthening his squad. The coach has asked for at least a central defender and a midfielder, with the aim of further improving an already competitive squad, but one that could benefit from some targeted grafts.

The priority remains the defensive sector, where Conte has highlighted the need for an element that can strengthen the back line, perhaps with an experienced profile that can guarantee solidity and leadership in a season that promises to be long and demanding. And in that sense he has also indicated a name: Danilo Luiz Da Silva, known as Danilo, recently put out of the squad by Juve. At the same time, the search for a midfielder is crucial, especially to give some more freshness and variety to the options in the midfield.

Meanwhile, on the exit front, the transfer of Michael Folorunsho is getting closer and closer. The midfielder, who has never really featured in Conte’s rotations, is now one step away from a farewell. After being very close to a transfer already during the summer market session, Folorunsho seems destined to wear the Fiorentina jersey.

Negotiations are at an advanced stage and, should they materialize, would free up a roster spot for a new addition. With the farewell of Folorunsho, Napoli could proceed with the purchase of a young midfielder. This is not only to strengthen the team, but also to meet an important need: to include an Under player who can occupy a place on the 25-player list for Serie A, thus freeing up space for possible new arrivals.
Gabri Veiga torna in orbita Napoli
Among the profiles that have been circulating in recent hours, Gabri Veiga’s name is back in the news. The Spanish midfielder, who seemed a step away from Napoli in 2023 before making a sudden and surprising choice to move to Saudi Arabia, is still on the radar of Parthenopean scouts.
Gabri Veiga has the right characteristics for Napoli: he is young (class of 2002), has already proven his worth in a competitive league like La Liga, and possesses great ability to link defense and attack. In addition, his young age makes him perfect for the club’s need to include an Under player, thus giving flexibility to the management of the 25-player list.
Should the deal with Fiorentina for Folorunsho come to an end, with the exits of Zerbin and Rafa Marin not enough to free up another slot, the purchase of a young midfielder could be the ideal solution. Veiga could thus be the perfect profile, a young, quality shot that strengthens the midfield but also leaves Napoli with the possibility of facing future challenges with greater serenity.
Un mercato che si infiamma in entrata
If the beginning of this January market focuses on a few, but targeted grafts, Napoli could still surprise us. The arrival of a defender and a midfielder, especially if they are young, could partly solve Conte’s immediate needs, but also lay the foundation for a long-term project.
The month of January is still long, and more inbound and outbound negotiations that could redefine the balance of the squad are not ruled out. While there are the imminent departures of Folorunsho, Zerbin and possibly Rafa Marin, Napoli is trying to maintain a balance between necessary renewal and experience in order to continue fighting for important goals in the season.
In the meantime, the team continues to grind out results under Conte’s leadership, but the market could prove to be another strength as the season continues.
