Napoli is currently in search of a new central striker following the recent thigh injury sustained by Romelu Lukaku, which will keep him out of action for several weeks. As a result, the club is actively exploring various options in the Serie A transfer market to bolster their attacking line.
Napoli`s Serie A Striker Targets
While Manchester United`s Rasmus Hojlund has been mentioned as a potential target for the Partenopei, recent reports from Italy suggest that Napoli`s focus has shifted towards other promising forwards currently playing in Serie A. According to Sky Sport transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk is a viable option for Napoli. Additionally, Il Mattino indicates that the reigning Serie A champions are contemplating a last-minute offer for Juventus and Italy international, Moise Kean.
Inter Rejects €45 Million Offer for Pio Esposito
Adding another layer to Napoli`s striker hunt, reports from SportMediaset and TMW reveal that Inter Milan`s promising young striker, Francesco Pio Esposito, is a significant target for the Neapolitan club. Napoli reportedly submitted a substantial €45 million bid for the 20-year-old. However, Inter has firmly rejected this proposal, demonstrating their unwillingness to part with the forward at any price, highlighting his importance to their future plans.
As the summer transfer window approaches its close, another name to keep an eye on for Napoli is Genk’s Tolu Arokodare, who is also reportedly on their watchlist.
