Napoli are stepping up their efforts to secure David Neres from Benfica as they look to strengthen their attacking options. The Serie A club’s interest in the Brazilian winger has gained momentum, with Neres reportedly open to the idea of a move to Italy.
According to Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, new Napoli manager Antonio Conte has specifically requested Neres, viewing the 27-year-old as a key addition to his squad. The club’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, is working diligently to fulfill Conte’s wishes and negotiations with Benfica are ongoing.
Neres, who has impressed during his time in Portugal, has signaled his willingness to consider a transfer to Napoli. This openness from the player could prove crucial in facilitating the move, though an agreement between the two clubs still needs to be reached.
Reports suggest that Benfica may be willing to part with Neres for a fee in the region of €25 million. While this represents a significant investment, Napoli view Neres as a valuable asset who could make an immediate impact in Serie A.
The potential arrival of Neres at Napoli could coincide with other movements within the squad, including the possible departure of Victor Osimhen, which has been a subject of ongoing speculation.
