Napoli's priority is to find a right back that would be an alternative to Hysaj and who would replace Christian Maggio (contract expiring). The name at the top of the list is Stefan Lainer from Salzburg. He collected 33 appearances, 1 goal and 4 assists in the Austrian league and 14 appearance with 1 goal and 5 assists in the Europa League. Salzburg is demanding 10 million euros, while Napoli is trying to close the deal for a smaller amount. Negotiations ongoing, Lainer is progressing in the race to become Hysaj's deputy. There is also a path for Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid.
For the goalkeeper position, Napoli are continuing to work with Bayer Leverkusen to find a deal for Leno, but there is some distance between the clubs. The alternative is Sirigu and contacts are ongoing.
