Napoli targets Badiashile signing, Lucca scores in friendly

Journalist Massimo Marianella praised defender Victor Badiashile as a versatile option for Napoli, suggesting the club should off‑load surplus contracts and consider adding the French centre‑back. He also highlighted the club’s recent presentation of a third‑kit commemorating its first league title and the strategic direction under president Aurelio De Laurentis and coach Massimiliano Allegri.

In a pre‑season match against Osasuna, forward Lorenzo Lucca entered at the start of the second half and scored within eight minutes, converting a well‑timed run to silence critics of his form. The goal was witnessed by De Laurentis in the stands, reinforcing confidence in the new attacking trio being assembled for the upcoming Serie A campaign.
