Napoli Interested in Pacey Benfica Winger Who Wants out

Napoli recently bid adieu to Jesper Lindstrom and have identified David Neres as an ideal replacement for the Danish attacker. The speedster is reportedly unsettled and seeks a new challenge, Il Mattino informs (via OneFootball).

The Partenopei will try to take advantage of the situation. They are preparing an offer similar to the deal for their outcast: a loan with an option to buy. The two forwards have similar valuations. The permanent acquisition could potentially be financed by Everton buying out their youngster in a year.

Napoli are tussling with Besiktas to sign David Neres. The player would like to stop being overshadowed by Angel Di Maria. The veteran will reportedly his contract and stay put, further postponing his return to Rosario Central.

The 27-year-old moved to Portugal from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2022 for €15M. He has notched 17 goals and 26 assists in 83 appearances. He never featured with the Ukrainian side, which had signed him from Ajax, due to the war. Juventus tried to bring him to Serie A in the past.

Our Take on Napoli and David Neres

Director Giovanni Manna must be a fan, but, while you can never have enough good players, the schematic change makes it so that they don’t need a substitute on the right wing, where they have Matteo Politano and Cyril Ngonge. They could use a Khvicha Kvaratskhelia deputy, and the Brazilian has played a lot there, but Giacomo Raspadori is still in town. Plus, given the traits of their star and all their other contributors in those roles, they might prefer an inverted winger.
