Napoli Keeping Tabs on Bournemouth and Feyenoord Stars | OneFootball

Napoli have added two more names to their wish list to shore up the attack in the summer: Antoine Semenyo and Igor Paixao. They are both having an excellent season and are likely to wind up in a top team sooner rather than later.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Bournemouth attacker is worth around €30M. He can star both as a winger, mainly on the right flank, and also as a striker. He has recorded 7 goals and 4 in 26 Premier League appearances this campaign. Liverpool are keeping an eye on him as they might have to replace Mohamed Salah at the end of the campaign. The Cherries signed him for relatively cheap after he blossomed with Bristol City in the Championship. He hit the net on 8 occasions in the entire past campaign.

Napoli are eyeing both Semenyo and Paixao as they’ll likely add to speedsters to their frontline, unless Antonio Conte decides to stick with 3-5-2. Feyenoord demand €35M for the Brazilian forward, while Napoli could start the negotiation from a €25M bid, Il Mattino reports.

The former Curitiba star has found the target 8 times and provided 13 helpers in 37 showings this year. He has been in Eredivisie since August 2022 and was solid in previous seasons as well.

Our Take on Napoli, Semenyo, and Paixao

Having David Neres forces them to play with a trident or something close to it, plus they haven’t been super successful with their current scheme. They’ll have ammo, and it’ll be interesting to see if they’ll go the super established route like last summer, which figures to be Conte’s preference, or if they’ll make some high-profile gambles like these ones.
