Napoli have looked to make multiple shakeups this January as they look to get back in the Scudetto race. But, they aren’t doing themselves any favours with a 3-0 loss to Juventus on Sunday. This game was lost by Napoli, mainly due to injuries as a lot of their first team names are missing time.

Napoli also have lost same players, as they have made some sales in the January transfer market. Firstly they sold Lorenzo Lucca to Nottingham Forest on a loan to buy deal. While this loss doesn’t help Napoli, it isn’t a big deal as they are set to have Romelu Lukaku back in the starting eleven soon. Lukaku has been battling injury all season and finally looks set to return.

However, this wasn’t the only sale that Napoli made as they also let go of Noa Lang. Lang was sold to Galatasaray on a loan to buy deal, only six month after moving to Naples. But, Lang wasn’t working out in Conte’s system so everyone at Napoli thought it would be best to replace him.

The problem is however, that Napoli still haven’t made a signing to replace him. They had multiple names they where watching such as Jadon Sancho and Daniel Maldini. But, Maldini has since made a move to Lazio (read more here) and Jadon Sancho isn’t for sale by Aston Villa.

Napoli have finally managed to land on a name however, according to Nico Schira. This is Alisson Santos, a 23-year-old left winger who is currently playing for Sporting CP. Napoli have opened talks with both Sporting and Santos to see if a move is possible.

Santos is open to joining Napoli, agreeing on a contract with the I Partenopei, on a deal until 2031. This means that Napoli, will only have to make a move with Sporting if they want to sign Santos. However, Napoli only have a certian amount of time to do so with the transfer window closing at midnight on Saturday.

Juventus closing in on signing Alisson Becker ahead of this summer

Juventus will likely be one of the busiest teams, in this summer transfer window as they look to build a new team for Luciano Spalletti. This summer for the Bianconeri will likely mirror the one that Thiago Motta had when he was hired. However, a lot of those signings have turned out unsuccessful for Juventus, which is something Spalletti and Comolli will hope to avoid.

Michele Di Gregorio is one of the names, that Juventus signed before Motta’s first season. Di Gregorio started off on fire for Juventus being an elite shot stopper. But his form has fallen off during this season, under Luciano Spalletti, and now could be replaced after this season.

Juventus, mainly Luciano Spalletti already have a name in mind to replace Di Gregorio. According to TuttoSport, Spalletti wants to sign Alisson Becker from Liverpool. The two have already worked together before Alisson signed for Liverpool for Roma, which is why he is pushing for the deal.

It is one of the main reasons that Alisson is open to making a move for Juventus. He also wants to have one more chance as a top European club, before making a move somewhere else to slow down before retirement, This has lead him to agreeing on a three year deal with Juventus.

Alisson three year deal will be worth, 4.5 million euros per season which is a figure that Juventus can afford to pay. Meanwhile, this is not all that needs to be done to complete a deal. Juventus will also have to agree to terms with Liverpool, who are willing to let Alisson go for 15-20 million euros.

Romleu Lukaku future with Napoli uncertain as a move back to Milan looms

This season has been one of the worst for Romelu Lukaku in his professional career. He started this season picking up an injury in pre season, which would see him delay the start of his season’s by three months. Lukaku would miss an additional two month not returning for Napoli until they played Juventus in January.

His recovery would keep him coming off the bench, playing pinch minutes for most of the rest of the season. This would see Lukaku score only one goal this season against Hellas Verona, as he missed more time with continuous injuries would plague his recovery.

Lukaku’s latest injury came while on international duty with the Belgian national team last month. This sparked controversy as he didn’t return to Naples for recovery until almost three weeks after it happened. Napoli’s relationship with Lukaku was soured because of this as they wanted him back immediately for recovery.

When, Lukaku did finally return he ignored Antonio Conte only speaking to the club backroom staff. Conte and Lukaku have been know to be inseparable in the past with Conte signing him for Inter Milan and now Napoli. At the same time, Rasmus Hojlund has been an excellent fill in to Lukaku as he has scored 10 league goals in 29 games.

This could lead to Napoli looking to sell Lukaku this summer to get rid of the problem all together. Matteo Moretto is now reporting that Lukaku could look to make a move back to Milan this summer. This comes as he has enjoyed the lifestyle there in the past.

However, a move to Inter Milan is unlikely as they have their four strikers set. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Pio Esposito and Ange Yoan Bonny is a solid core for Cristian Chivu. But, AC Milan do need a striker and Lukaku could be an option as Massimiliano Allegri wants a more conventional number nine.

Denzel Dumfries future has been one of the biggest talks of Inter Milan season so far. Dumfries spent 16 games sidelined for Inter this season, due to injury. The Nerazzurri saw how important he was as while Luis Henrique played roles none where as good as him.

His future has also been a talking point as he changed agent to Ali Barat during the course of this season. Barat is known for bringing players from Europe into the Premier League, and it looked like he would do the same for Dumfries. These talks where boosted by the fact that Dumfries has a 25 million release clause over his head this summer.

While there is no guarantee that Dumfries could leave Inter, as he enjoys playing and living in Milan. However, Inter need to be prepared in case he does leave the club. Tuttosport are now reporting that Inter are setting their eyes on Marco Palestra as the replacement for Inter.

However, it won’t be that simple for Inter Milan as he will return to Atalanta from loan at Cagliari. Atalanta will already sell Ederson this summer as he has already agreed personal terms with Atletico Madrid. Marco Carnesecchi could also be sold, but Atalanta will likely only sell one name.

This could see them keep Palestra this summer, which would make him unavailable for Inter. There is also the complication of the Premier League as English sides have been interested in signing Palestra. If a bid from the Premier League came in Inter would likely be unable to compete with them.
