Gustavo Varela, Monza's new Portuguese striker, continues to be talked about thanks to the seven goals scored in the first eight matchdays of Serie A. His sudden brilliance has attracted the attention of several clubs, including Napoli, who have already shown interest in a possible acquisition in January.
Napoli, led by Allegri, have so far had two options for the main striker position. The star player, although he showed a certain reluctance to score, was accompanied by the uncertainty that characterized his first experience with the blue shirt. In this context, Varela's performance appears particularly attractive, offering the club a quality solution at an affordable price.
Monza bought Varela last summer transfer window for just 2.5 million euros, a figure which, according to experts, could increase significantly if the Portuguese maintains his goalscoring pace. The player's value could almost double, especially if Monza managed to maintain its position in Serie A until the end of the season. In that case, a future sale to a club like Napoli could generate a significant profit.
This evening, Napoli will host Monza, giving Varela the opportunity to demonstrate his ability against one of the teams most interested in him. The match represents a crucial opportunity for the player to show his value in front of a wider audience and for Napoli to more closely evaluate his potential addition to the attacking department. The result of this match could influence the Neapolitan club's transfer decisions for the January window.
