Napoli will undergo a major overhaul of their squad this summer

According to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli will undergo a major overhaul of their squad this summer. While key players like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will remain, the club has identified several transfer targets, including Romelu Lukaku.

Napoli is set to enter the Conte era, with the club's sporting director, Mann, already fully engaged in summer transfer operations. The two sides will work closely together to develop the team's construction strategy and plans, aiming to build a more competitive Napoli for the new season.

As per Conte's demands, several core players are considered non-transferable, with Kvaratskhelia being the most talented and promising among them. Despite Paris Saint-Germain offering €110 million for him, Napoli rejected the bid and made it clear that the Georgian striker will be a cornerstone of Conte's plans. Additionally, team captain Di Lorenzo, who has submitted a transfer request, is regarded as crucial by Conte, who will do his best to persuade him to stay.

Conte plans to build next season's Napoli around Kvaratskhelia, Di Lorenzo, Anguissa, Lobotka, Rrahmani, Raspadori, Politano, and Meret. Besides retaining these key players, Conte also aims to bring in new talented players to strengthen the squad.

Napoli has shown strong interest in Torino's 24-year-old defender Buongiorno, having made an offer of €35 million plus €5 million in add-ons. They are also considering bringing in Rennes center-back Theate and Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Sudakov, although the Ukrainian club has priced him at €50 million. Other midfield targets include Gladbach's Koné, Monaco's Youssouf Fofana, and Frosinone's Brescianini.

In attack, Napoli is evaluating the futures of several players, including Simeone Jr. and Osimhen. Osimhen's contract includes a release clause of €120-130 million, but so far, no satisfactory offers have been received. Paris Saint-Germain, Al-Hilal, and several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, have shown some interest. Chelsea might propose including Conte's former player Lukaku in the deal. Although Lukaku's contract includes a release clause of €44 million, Chelsea is expected to value him at €20-25 million.

Additionally, Napoli is considering signing Celta's Jørgen Strand Larsen and Stuttgart's Guirassy. As for 25-year-old Dzeko, although he is a highly sought-after target, Sporting CP has set his price at €100 million, making his acquisition quite challenging.
