The blue club is evaluating the arrival of the young midfielder, former Inter player: he is liked for his quality and insertions. The hypothesis of an exchange with Zanoli is gaining ground.
Napoli continues to move decisively in the market, this time with its gaze fixed on the midfield. The new name is that of Giovanni Fabbian, class 2003, owned by Bologna. A young, versatile profile, grown in the Inter youth academy and appreciated for his ability to insert himself without the ball and make an impact in the offensive zone.
According to national sports newspapers, the Neapolitan management is studying a possible exchange with Bologna that would involve Alessandro Zanoli, a 2000-class full-back currently considered to be leaving. The operation could also include an economic settlement in favor of the Emilian club, still to be defined.
Fabbian: talent in search of continuity Coming from two seasons in Serie A with Bologna, Fabbian has collected 70 appearances and 9 goals, 5 with Thiago Motta and 3 in the last season, despite not being often a starter under Vincenzo Italiano's guidance. Napoli is carefully evaluating him not only for his technical qualities but also because, being an Under player, he would not occupy a slot in the Serie A list, an important strategic detail in managing the squad.
Zanoli pleases Bologna, but Napoli is stalling On the other side, there is Alessandro Zanoli, a low outside player who is very much liked by Bologna and sports director Sartori. The full-back is also valued by Vincenzo Italiano for his running and ability to cover the entire flank. Napoli, however, is not yet ready to release him: first, it must close the Juanlu Sanchez deal with Sevilla, identified as a natural substitute.
Only at that point could Zanoli become a concrete pawn in the exchange with Fabbian, an operation that – at that point – could take off quickly.
