Beyond Ndoye, Napoli’s scouting efforts extend to other high-profile attacking players such as Federico Chiesa, Jack Grealish, and Raheem Sterling. The Partenopei are also looking to reinforce other areas of the team, with Juventus midfielder Fabio Miretti and Sevilla right-back Juanlu Sanchez identified as potential targets.
