Napoli eyes Argentine winger Zeballos, sparking possible Noa Lang move

Former Napoli sporting director Pietro Lo Monaco praised Argentine winger Exequiel Zeballos, describing him as a technically skilled left‑winger who creates numerical superiority and prefers to assist rather than score. Lo Monaco noted that, with Zeballos’ contract nearing expiry, Napoli secured a good deal and that the winger would join an already strong flank group that includes Neres, Politano, and Allison Santos, while the return of Noa Lang adds further depth.

Media reports suggest Zeballos’ arrival could make Lang expendable, prompting Fiorentina to consider a swap that would send the Dutch winger to Florence in exchange for Brazilian right‑back Dodô. The speculation also mentions other potential targets such as Bakayoko, Aranda (another Boca Juniors talent), and Volpato. Lo Monaco used the discussion to criticize Italian clubs’ cultural approach to young players, arguing that many promising prospects are undervalued and that this mindset hampers the national team’s performance.

Overall, the conversation centers on Napoli’s transfer strategy, the possible ripple effects on Noa Lang’s future, and broader concerns about youth development in Italian football.
