“Napoli announces the loan signing of Alisson de Almeida Santos from Sporting Portugal, with a purchase option,” the club said in a statement.

Having come up through Vitória, Alisson moved to Sporting in mid-2025. At the Lisbon club, the 23-year-old striker stood out by scoring three goals in the first stage of the Champions League, including the winning goal against Olympique de Marseille (2-1).

Third in the Italian Championship, nine points behind leaders Inter Milan, and eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage, the team coached by Antonio Conte has been hampered by injuries to key players (De Bruyne, Anguissa, Lukaku) and has just lost its captain, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, for at least a month.

Napoli, which invested 150 million euros (about R$ 931 million at the current exchange rate) during the pre-season, is prohibited from signing new players in this winter transfer window by the authority that regulates the finances of Italian clubs.
