Napoli is not stopping and is returning to the transfer market to strengthen a squad strained by the injuries to De Bruyne and Anguissa. The Azzurri management has identified Kobbie Mainoo, a 2005-born English midfielder, and Juanlu Sanchez, a Spanish full-back from Sevilla, as their top priorities to fill the gaps that have emerged in recent days.
After a busy summer with nine signings totaling €208 million, the Neapolitan club must recalibrate its strategies: while the right flank remains a position in need of strengthening, the immediate need is to strengthen the midfield. Mainoo, currently playing for Manchester United, represents the ideal profile to ensure intensity and quality, effectively replacing players who are out of action.
At full-back, Juanlu Sanchez had already been close to joining Napoli during the last summer transfer window. Napoli is keeping the deal alive, ready to reopen negotiations if conditions are favorable. The goal is clear: arrive prepared, with contracts and pens ready, to avoid being caught out by the unexpected events that modern football constantly throws at them.
Meanwhile, the club is also monitoring other promising young players, such as Genoa's Frendrup and Norton-Cuffy, with a view to potential transfer alternatives. The club remains fully focused on keeping the team competitive in all competitions.
