Napoli transfer updates: Manna discusses Anguissa renewal and squad strategy
Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has provided updates regarding the club’s transfer market strategy as the window nears its close. Manna stated that the squad is currently relatively complete, though the club remains vigilant for opportunities to improve the roster.
A primary focus is the contract renewal of Anguissa, with negotiations reportedly close to a resolution. While the club has expressed interest in players such as Gabriel Jesus and potentially Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea, Manna emphasized that significant incoming moves are contingent upon player departures. Specifically, the club is looking to monetize players like Lang and Lucca through permanent transfers to create the necessary financial conditions for new signings.
Regarding the squad composition, Manna noted that the team is stable and that the club is not in a desperate rush to make moves unless the right conditions arise. The club has already secured players like Hojlund and Badiashile, and they are currently evaluating how to best utilize their existing attacking options.
