Napoli Eye Past Target, Will Need to Fiddle with Lists | OneFootball

Like most teams, Napoli have filled their list and need to proceed one in, one out, unless they decide to address their needs with U-22 players, which don’t need to be counted in Serie A, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Micheal Folorunsho is headed to Fiorentina, and his place will ideally be taken by Danilo. The Partenopei would gladly avoid paying a fee to Juventus. Alessio Zerbin will join Venezia, but he’s home-grown. Rafa Marin could leave as well, but he’s 22. As for the midfield, they are competing with Lazio for Jacopo Fazzini. Empoli are doing their best to stoke a bidding war.

Napoli have resumed tracking an old target, Gabri Veiga, who spurned them to move Al-Ahli a couple of years ago, Corriere dello Sport informs. He’s not too happy and is mulling returning to Europe in January. He’ll be an option in the summer if he postpones his choice.

The Partenopei have shown preliminary interest in Udinese’s Martin Payero, who’s wanted by Atletico Madrid too, Alfredo Pedullà reports. The swap of goalies with Cagliari is at a good point. Elia Caprile is finalizing his agreement with Cagliari, as he makes more than Simone Scuffet. Antonio Conte has to give his final thumbs-up.

Instead, another deal with Fiorentina, with Leonardo Spinazzola and Cristiano Biraghi switching allegiances, depends on the former. He hasn’t made up his mind about joining the Viola yet, Il Mattino informs (via OneFootball).

Our Take on Napoli in January

They have some holes to be 100 percent set but not glaring or gaping ones like other sides. A box-to-box and a reliable center-back wouldn’t hurt.
