Eye for Five

The 2025/26 season preparation is upon us, with Napoli looking to win back to back Scudetti and three titles in the last four years. In anticipation of a busy season, including a return to the UEFA Champions League, Antonio Conte and club management have been busy preparing to improve the squad with quality signings. The Azzurri have already secured the signatures of Manchester City legend and one of the best midfielders of the modern era, Kevin De Bruyne, on a free transfer, as well as the highly-rated Empoli centre back Luca Marinucci for €10 million. The summer ritiri (retreats) are…

The Weight of a Name

In Naples, the ever-present shadow of Mount Vesuvius looms over the city, but it is the towering legacy of Diego Maradona that casts the larger, more profound silhouette over its people and their beloved football club. Diego Maradona's arrival in 1984 transcended the boundaries of football. For a city often marginalized and overshadowed within Italy, Maradona became more than just a player. He was a symbol of hope, pride, and defiance.

Juan Jesus: Will He Stay or Will He Go?

On Saturday, Napoli secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Fiorentina to close the Girone di Andata. With Atalanta and Inter in Riyadh for the Supercoppa Italiana, Gli Azzurri moved clear of their Northern rivals at the top of the table. Antonio Conte has rapidly turned things around for Napoli, who were 20 points from the top of the table at this point last season, and the prospect of a fourth Scudetto might have changed the club’s approach to the January transfer market. Conte is keen to improve his squad’s depth, seeking replacements for Michael Folorunsho and Alessio Zerbin, who are on…

2017/18 Napoli: Where Are They Now?

The news of Napoli terminating Mario Rui's contract marks the end of an era for one of the club’s enduring figures, as well as the last remaining player from the Sarri regime. Rui spent over seven years with the club and contributed to both the 2022-23 Scudetto and 2020 Coppa Italia victories. As Napoli continues to evolve, it’s worth revisiting the iconic 2017-2018 squad. The team earned 91 points in Serie A, the most in the club’s storied history. Managed by Maurizio Sarri, the team stacked with club legends like Dries Mertens, Marek Hamsik and Kalidou Koulibaly, thrilled fans with…
