Napoli's defense has been sorted out with the arrival of their new center-back, Natan, a Brazilian preferred to their compatriot Murillo. The spotlight is now on the midfield with Zielinski's imminent departure for Saudi Arabia and the arrival of the money to attack Atalanta's Koopmeiners. Napoli is putting the final turbo on the transfer market, ready to change part of the face of the team that won the Scudetto to have even greater ambitions.
The first step was taken today when Natan De Souza signed his five-year contract with the blue jersey, landing for the first time in Europe after being sought last summer by Roma and also on the list of Barcelona. A double interest that did not become a transfer, and so the 22-year-old former Flamengo player became the perfect protagonist of the defense of Red Bull Brigantino, the club that had taken him from the red and black club Carioca.
A season that ultimately convinced both Napoli's scouting team and coach Garcia. So the blue club bet heavily on Natan after Lens had suddenly closed the doors of negotiations for central defender Danso.
Now the Napoli market is taking a step forward and looking at the midfield where a new pawn is being sought, following the scent of Arab money for Piotr Zielinski. The 29-year-old midfielder is now at the center of the Al Ahli market who have reportedly relaunched in recent hours by making Napoli an offer of 20 million euros and, to convince the Pole, a contract with a salary of 15 million euros per season.
A double figure that would convince Napoli and that would also convince the footballer, tempted by a truly rich end to his career. A path that was also confirmed on social media by Laura Slowiak, Zielinski's wife, who shared a post on social media from a fan with the words "I wasn't ready to say goodbye to you".
A signal that can confirm Zielinski's farewell and give the Azzurri 20 million to which De Laurentiis would immediately add another 15 to present the offer to Atalanta for Koopmeiners. The Lombards would like to hold on to the Dutchman, they are asking for at least 40 million but they know that the 25-year-old midfielder wants to go to Napoli, play in the Scudetto challenge and enjoy the Champions League.

The new negotiation is open. Meanwhile, from Spain they let it be known, and write, that Celta Vigo has rejected Napoli's offer of 30 million for the 'jewel' Gabri Veiga, a midfielder who can only move to Garcia's court by paying the 40 million termination clause.
