Napoli, Manna working for the winter market: Norton-Cuffy in the sights

The English player, born in 2004, has experienced a steady growth path since arriving in Serie A. In the last season, he showed significant progress in terms of tactics and consistency, while the start of the current championship has confirmed the good impressions. His young age makes him an interesting prospect for the future, a profile that a club like Napoli might consider both for immediate needs and in a project-oriented perspective. Genoa, aware of their talent's value, has set a valuation between 12 and 15 million euros. This figure reflects the combination of potential and current performance, in a context of growing attention for full-backs capable of combining physical strength, speed, and participation in the offensive phase.

Norton-Cuffy, 181 centimeters tall, naturally right-footed, combines athletic impact and a predisposition to support the play. At Genoa, he has stood out for his ability to handle physical duels and for an offensive attitude that makes him a dynamic element. At 21, he still has ample room for growth and a long contract, expiring in 2029, which gives the Rossoblù club a strong position in negotiations. Meanwhile, Napoli is evaluating more than one option to strengthen the defensive department, and the name of the Rossoblù full-back is not currently the absolute priority, but it is part of a range of alternatives being closely followed. Any potential negotiation will depend not only on the price but also on the overall strategies of the club, which intends to move cautiously in a January market often characterized by tight margins and high valuations.
