SSC Napoli continues summer training and preseason preparations
SSC Napoli is currently conducting its summer training camp in Castel di Sangro under manager Massimiliano Allegri. During a recent friendly match against Celta Vigo, Napoli secured a 1-1 draw, with captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo scoring the opening goal.
Allegri is focusing on tactical versatility and player development. Midfielder Antonio Vergara noted that he is being tested in a 'mezzala' role, working on technical precision and body positioning. Similarly, young forward Giovane Santana do Nascimento has been tested as an outsider in a trident formation, a position Allegri believes could suit him.
Club developments include the solidification of young defender Luca Marianucci in the squad following impressive performances. Meanwhile, there is ongoing interest from Ajax regarding winger Noa Lang, with Napoli reportedly valuing him between €25 million and €30 million.
The club also announced a schedule change for its seasonal presentation, which is now set for August 10 at 20:30 in Piazza Plebiscito, Castel di Sangro.
