Napoli’s late transfer push: deals, Premier chances, Raspadori issue | OneFootball

Less than a month after the market closed, the Neapolitan club continues to work on multiple fronts to complete the roster requested by Conte. The Chiesa, Miretti, Juanlu and a possible substitute in attack remain open

Napoli, final sprint of the market: between shots to close, opportunities from the Premier and the Raspadori node

Napoli has so far respected an ambitious schedule, managing to quickly meet many of the requests made by Antonio Conte. Yet, with the summer market already passed, sports director Giovanni Manna is still dealing with several open files, some of which are quite complex and of primary importance.

Between clear objectives, economic opportunities, and possible sales, the Neapolitan club is preparing for an intense August, where every choice can have a decisive impact on the balance of the team and the seasonal ambitions.

The last piece to the left: Chiesa more accessible than Sterling and Grealish

The department that remains most exposed is the left offensive wing, a key area in Conte's tactical chessboard. In the Premier League, there are three strong names on Napoli's list: Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish, and Federico Chiesa. But if the first two involve high wages and prohibitive card costs, Chiesa appears at the moment as the most concrete and sustainable option.

The player, outgoing from Liverpool, knows the Italian league well and would like a new challenge as a protagonist. The dialogues are open, but a decisive acceleration will be needed to overcome the competition and convince the Reds.

Midfield: waiting for Miretti, with Fabbian ready as an alternative

On the midfielder front, the negotiation for Fabio Miretti remains hot, a profile appreciated by Manna who knows him well from Next Gen to Conte for technique, dynamism, and versatility. Napoli has already obtained the player's approval, but is waiting for a definitive response from Juventus, which is currently evaluating exits in that department with caution.

In case it doesn't unlock, Giovanni Fabbian represents the main alternative. The midfielder, coming from a positive season at Inter, is also monitored by other clubs, but Napoli has on its side the guarantee of a clear technical project.

Juanlu and the Wolverhampton node, attack waiting for Raspadori

On the right defensive wing, the strong name is Juanlu, a talent from Sevilla followed for some time. The main obstacle is represented by the competition from Wolverhampton, which has made concrete steps to try to close the operation. Napoli, however, remains in the race and relies on the player's will to direct the deal.

Finally, the situation in attack revolves around Giacomo Raspadori. If the 2000 class were to accept Atletico Madrid's offer, then Napoli will have to intervene quickly on the market to identify a new supporting striker. Even here, alternatives are not lacking: the club has already traced a shortlist of profiles ready for use.
