SSC Napoli holds highest average squad age in Serie A

SSC Napoli currently possesses the highest average age in Serie A. The starting eleven for the recent match against Bologna had an average age of 29 years and 7 months, while the total squad average stands at 29 years and 14 days. This is more than a year older than the next oldest squad, Inter Milan. Key veterans contributing to this average include Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Politano, Spinazzola, Rrahmani, and Lobotka.

To address physical fatigue and prepare for the future, Sporting Director Giovanni Manna is implementing a strategy to integrate younger players. The club is focusing on developing talents such as Antonio Vergara and Favasuli. Additionally, Napoli is targeting Tiago Gabriel, a 21-year-old Portuguese defender from Lecce, as a primary candidate to eventually succeed Amir Rrahmani in the defense.
