Napoli has been very active in the transfer market this summer, bringing in high-profile signings like Kevin De Bruyne, Noa Lang, and Lorenzo Lucca. Reports suggest Antonio Conte and his team are expecting even more new additions before the window closes.
Napoli`s Summer Transfer Activity
The club moved quickly to secure De Bruyne after his decade-long stint at Manchester City ended. Lang has completed his medical, while a deal for Udinese striker Lucca is close to completion. These newcomers join an attack that already features Romelu Lukaku, David Neres, Matteo Politano and Giacomo Raspadori – key players in last season`s Scudetto-winning campaign.
Napoli is also reportedly pursuing Sam Beukema from Bologna and considering a move for Torino`s Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. Conte is said to be targeting two wingers this window, with Lang being one and another still to come.
Potential Lineup After Summer Spending
With a return to the Champions League on the horizon, squad depth has been a priority. The arrivals give Napoli multiple options in each attacking position. De Bruyne adds world-class quality to a midfield already boasting Serie A player of the year Scott McTominay and highly-rated Stanislav Lobotka.
The expected signing of Beukema could create an exciting center-back pairing with Alessandro Buongiorno. There may even be competition for the starting goalkeeper spot if the Milinkovic-Savic deal materializes.
Possible Napoli Formation for 2025-26
Napoli (4-3-3): Meret/Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Beukema/Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Olivera/Spinazzola; De Bruyne/Anguissa, Lobotka/Gilmour, McTominay; New signing/Politano, Lukaku/Lucca, Neres/Lang.
This lineup showcases Napoli`s newfound depth and quality across all positions, giving Conte numerous tactical options for the upcoming season.
