Napoli continues to move forward in the transfer market and is still looking abroad to strengthen its squad. After finalizing several outgoing deals and adding new players, the club has reportedly initiated discussions with Sporting Lisbon regarding Alisson Santos, a 23-year-old Brazilian winger.
Portuguese press has relaunched the rumor, claiming the player's name has been eyed by Napoli's management as a potential winger. Having arrived at Sporting last summer from Vitoria Guimarães for a fee of around €2 million, Alisson Santos has made 29 appearances so far this season, scoring two goals, both in the Champions League.
Napoli have reportedly explored his availability for a loan move, a deal that would allow them to evaluate the player without an immediate permanent investment. However, the Portuguese club is not willing to let him go easily. The Lions still consider the winger a valuable addition to their attacking rotation, although the arrival of new signings and the return of key players to the defense could reduce his playing time in the coming weeks.
The scenario therefore remains open. Much will depend on Sporting's internal balance and the player's desire, who could see Napoli as an opportunity to test himself in a different league and with greater consistency. Meanwhile, the Azzurri are continuing their strategy of focusing on young, international players, seeking fresh energy for the second half of the season.

Napoli seems to be looking to make some transfer deals to strengthen their squad, but I wonder if Alisson Santos is really the right player. Twenty-nine appearances isn't a small number, but two goals in the Champions League doesn't say much. It's difficult to judge.
