Max Allegri Requests Four January Signings for Struggling Napoli
Napoli manager Max Allegri has submitted a recruitment request to club president Aurelio De Laurentiis for four January transfer window reinforcements to turn around their difficult campaign across domestic and European fixtures.
Gustavo Varela has scored nine goals in his first 10 Serie A appearances, plus two in a single Coppa Italia match.
Napoli
clubMonza currently holds the registration for Varela, while Shakhtar Donetsk features right-back target Vinicius Tobias and Sassuolo houses midfield option Darryl Bakola.
Defensive and Midfield Additions Target Tactical Gaps
The recruitment push addresses clear roster shortages following an injury to Giovanni Di Lorenzo on the right side of defence. Vinicius Tobias is lined up to provide natural cover at right-back, while Darryl Bakola offers a more affordable alternative in midfield compared to AS Monaco’s high valuation of Mamadou Coulibaly.
Restructuring the Forward Line After Expected Departures
With Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca expected to leave the club following difficult loan spells, the management team needs two new attacking options to revive the attack. The primary focus centers on acquiring a physical centre-forward to lead the line and provide a focal point in the final third.
Balancing Financial Resources for the Winter Market
President Aurelio De Laurentiis is prepared to back the coaching staff financially despite poor results in recent months. Management must carefully calculate each deal to avoid inflated valuations while reshaping the squad ahead of the winter market opening in January 2027.
