The full picture

Napoli are expected to be active in the January transfer window, targeting several young players to address their midfield depth concerns, according to The Cult of Calcio. They are reportedly following Alessandro Romano, Lucas Bergvall, and Tomas Aranda. The club is also interested in Darryl Bakola, but his rising price tag is a consideration. Napoli's pursuit of these players is driven by their need to strengthen their squad.

To make room for new signings, Napoli will need to sort out some departures, including potentially Lorenzo Lucca, Noa Lang, and David Neres. The sale of a winger could pave the way for the acquisition of Mohamed Ali Zoma. The club has also been offered Cruzeiro's young goalkeeper Otavio. Napoli's management will evaluate possible offers for their players.

The extent of Napoli's transfer activity will depend on the club's priorities and the need to strengthen their squad to qualify for the Champions League. Aurelio De Laurentiis' willingness to invest will be crucial, as he tightened the purse strings during the summer transfer window. The club's list of potential targets is long, but their actions will be guided by the need to fortify their squad.

Source context

After a subdued summer, Napoli are gearing up for a more eventful January window and have earmarked several youngsters to address their needs. They are following multiple midfielders, as they aren’t very deep and have a few question marks there. According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Azzurri have joined Inter and Juventus in the race for Alessandro Romano, but it’ll be difficult to convince Cagliari to sell him during the winter. They are also after Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall, who’s not been a regular under Roberto De Zerbi, and Tomas Aranda. The Boca Juniors starlet can man multiple roles and has tallied one goal and three assists in 32 first-team outings.
