Napoli agree terms with potential new winger signing

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.

Noa Lang of S.S.C. Napoli is seen in action during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 League Phase MD7 match between F.C. Copenhagen and S.S.C. Napoli…

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.
