Napoli compile seven-man transfer shortlist for January
Maurizio Sarri’s side remain two points clear at the top of the Serie A table, although their hopes of advancing to the Champions League knockout stage look bleak as they were cut further adrift of the top two spots in Group F on Wednesday night.
In turn, the Partenopei will now consider their options in January to strengthen the squad to ensure that they can sustain their start to the season with several players being linked with a possible move to the San Paolo, not only to solve their issue at left-back.
Adam Masina, Antonio Barreca, Alex Grimaldo, loanee Roberto Inglese, Sime Vrsaljko, Jo and Alireza Jahanbakhsh have all been linked, and Sarri will undoubtedly hope to add signings that can fit into his style of play immediately.
While they’ve certainly started the season well, it will be a real test of their quality and depth to continue to lead the race and hold off competition from the likes of Inter, Juventus and possibly others in the Scudetto battle.
