The full picture
Napoli are planning for the January transfer window, with Massimiliano Allegri seeking to strengthen several positions, according to Gazzetta dello Sport as reported by The Cult of Calcio. President Aurelio De Laurentiis and sporting director Giovanni Manna are working with Allegri.
The club is targeting a new right-back to cover for Giovanni Di Lorenzo and potentially another center-back, as well as reinforcing midfield and attack. Napoli is interested in players like Dodo and Mamadou Coulibaly.
Frank Zambo Anguissa's uncertain future and Lorenzo Lucca's struggles could influence Napoli's plans, with the club considering selling Anguissa if an offer arrives in January or seeking a reliable alternative to Rasmus Hojlund.

Source context
Napoli have already begun planning for the January transfer window, with Massimiliano Allegri keen to strengthen several positions after a frustrating summer. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, president Aurelio De Laurentiis and sporting director Giovanni Manna are working alongside the Italian manager to address the squad’s shortcomings. Around a dozen players will be over 30 by next June, prompting Napoli to prioritize younger profiles. The Partenopei are targeting a new right-back to provide cover for captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo, while another center-back remains a possibility despite Rafa Marin’s return to contention and Benoit Badiashile’s encouraging progress. However, that would only be the beginning of a comprehensive overhaul at the Diego Maradona Stadium. Napoli could revive their interest in Fiorentina right-back Dodo, whose contract expires next summer.
