According to reports from Sky Sport Italia and Gazzetta, Fenerbahce striker Youssef En-Nesyri is under consideration by Napoli. However, the Partenopei must first offload either Lorenzo Lucca or Noa Lang to facilitate a loan agreement.
Napoli is seeking to bolster their attacking lineup, but they face transfer regulations this month due to exceeding their expanded labor costs. This limitation means the Partenopei can only spend in the January window what they earn from outgoing transfers.
