Max Allegri Lines Up Four January Transfers to Save Napoli's Season
Max Allegri is pushing for four winter additions to fix his squad’s poor run of form, receiving backing from President Aurelio De Laurentiis despite a difficult campaign across domestic and European competition. The manager wants a right-back, a physical midfielder, and two forwards to reshape the group when the transfer window opens. These plans aim to offset expected exits for loanees Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca.
Defensive and Midfield Options on the Shortlist
Vinicius Tobias of Shakhtar Donetsk has emerged as a key candidate to fill the right-back vacancy left by Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s injury. In the middle of the pitch, the club needs an alternative to the physical profile of Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa. While Monaco midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly was evaluated, his valuation sits around forty million euros, making Sassuolo’s Darryl Bakola a more affordable alternative.
