Napoli are already planning the changes to be made to the midfield in view of the reopening of the transfer market. The club has declared that the figure of McTominay, the Scottish coach, remains a certainty: negotiations for his renewal are underway with moderate optimism and the objective is a contract that lasts until 2030, with a salary adjustment.
To complete the midfield department, the Italian club has identified several interesting profiles. Among the most discussed names are Bergwall, defender of Tottenham, and Aranda, forward of Boca. Furthermore, the club has shown interest in Romano, former Inter and Juventus player, who has been the subject of investigations by the management. Napoli are also evaluating the possibility of renewing the position of Lucca, who could be loaned out in January.
In the offensive sector, the club has identified Varela, the Monza striker. The player, bought by Monza in the summer for 2.5 million euros from Benfica, has started the season at an impressive pace, scoring eight goals in seven competitive matches. Benfica retained 20% of the capital gain in case of a future resale. Despite Napoli's interest, Monza's position is still uncertain, as the club is not willing to lose its "jewel" mid-season.
Lang's exit remains open. In the summer it looked like he might leave, but no satisfactory offer arrived and the Dutch winger remained at the club. However, the prospects could change in the coming months, as both Ajax and PSV are still interested in him.
In summary, Napoli is working to renew the midfield and attack, with McTominay as a point of reference, while Bergwall, Aranda and Romano are among the most promising candidates. Meanwhile, Monza's Varela represents a potential addition to the attacking department, if the club manages to negotiate a transfer. The next step will be to understand if Napoli will be able to consolidate these acquisitions before the transfer window closes.
