Napoli are quietly looking for a new midfielder and are keeping tabs on Mats Wieffer, who drew the attention of Lazio in the recent past. The Partenopei won’t have Frank Anguissa for a while in January due to AFCON. Diego Demme has been tipped to depart for multiple windows in a row.
According to Mundo Deportivo (via OneFootball), the Scudetto holders and Atletico Madrid have shown great interest in the talented Dutchman. He has logged 3 goals and 2 assists in 22 appearances so far this season. He put his name in the stat sheet against the Spanish side and the Biancocelesti in the Champions League.
Per Corriere dello Sport, besides Napoli, Juventus have also been monitoring Wieffer amid their search for a new midfielder. The 24-year-old transferred to Feyenoord from Excelsior in a cheap move in July 2022. He has scored six times and set up nine teammates since. He has seven caps with the Netherlands.
Napoli director Mauro Meluso addressed the recent chatter about Victor Osimhen and Piotr Zielinski over the weekend (via Mediaset).
“We work under the radar. There are a lot of rumors because that’s the norm, but we operate with privacy. We’ll see what happens in the next few weeks. We are evaluating all the negotiations.”
Our Take on Napoli and Wieffer
He’d help most sides thanks to his all-around game and physicality, and he has already proven himself on the international stage, but he wouldn’t come cheap as Feyenoord are an expensive boutique.
