Morale is high at Napoli following their third Supercoppa Italiana triumph, but their January window will be more challenging than expected. Because of a financial parameter related to labor costs and revenues, they\u2019ll have to break, or they\u2019ll face harsher sanctions in summer, up to a complete blockage, Il Mattino<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n Therefore, the Partenopei<\/em> must raise funds to make some acquisitions, or they\u2019ll have to settle for loans. Their only player reportedly on his way out is Lorenzo Lucca, but his exit isn\u2019t easy to engineer and probably wouldn\u2019t be profitable. They\u2019d need to buy him out early for Udinese for \u20ac26M, which is scheduled for June. Then, they\u2019d have to find a team willing to spend as much for him.<\/p>\n Napoli are interested in Kobbie Mainoo, as they are thin in the midfield. The player and his camp are doing what they can to escape Manchester United. The Red Devils wish to wait for the end of AFCON 2025 to trim their squad.<\/p>\n At that point, the Azzurri<\/em> might not even need a new piece, as Frank Anguissa is expected to be back from a thigh injury in mid-January. Billy Gilmour, who underwent sports hernia surgery, might not be that far behind. Instead, Kevin De Bruyne will require more time and could be a full-go only in March.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not great news, but they can skirt the limitation through temporary formulas with clauses that\u2019d still ensure future permanent switches, and they can cash in on a pair of youngsters if they need to. They should add a midfielder regardless of the returns, also for a matter of traits.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Napoli<\/h3>\n
