Ademola Lookman was the most expensive Serie A sale of the 2026 January transfer window, but Napoli could match the same fee if Lorenzo Lucca’s loan move to Nottingham Forest is made permanent. Here is a reminder of the most expensive departures of the winter transfer window. 

The Serie A transfer window came to a close at 19.00 GMT on Monday, February 2. Lookman was the second most expensive deadline day transfer in the world with his €35m switch from Atalanta to Atletico Madrid (not including bonuses).

Lazio were among the most active Serie A sides during the January transfer window, and raised just shy of €60m through their sales of Taty Castellanos to West Ham and Matteo Guendouzi to Fenerbahce. 

Lorenzo Lucca is an interesting case, as he was technically bought outright by Napoli from Udinese, and then sent out on loan to Nottingham Forest with an option to buy. His two moves this month could turn out to be worth in excess of €60m.

Here are the most expensive permanent sales of the January transfer window, and a list of the most significant loans with option to buy. 

Most expensive permanent sales of Serie A January transfer window 

1. Ademola Lookman: Atalanta → Atletico Madrid €35m
2. Taty Castellanos: Lazio → West Ham €29m
3. Matteo Guendouzi: Lazio → Fenerbahce €28m
4. Lorenzo Lucca: Udinese → Napoli €26m
5. Tammy Abraham: Roma → Besiktas €15m

Notable loans with options to buy

1. Lorenzo Lucca: Napoli → Nottingham Forest on loan with €35m option to buy
2. Noa Lang: Napoli → Galatasaray on loan with €28m option to buy
3. Douglas Luiz: Juventus → Aston Villa with €25m option to buy
4. Christos Mandas: Lazio → AFC Bournemouth on loan with €18.5m option to buy
5. Daniel Maldini: Atalanta → Lazio on loan with €15.5m option to buy
6. Marco Brescianini: Atalanta → Fiorentina on loan with €10m option to buy

Lorenzo Lucca, Giacomo Raspadori and Robinio Vaz were among the most expensive Serie A signings during the 2026 January transfer window, which saw the Italian top-flight sides spend a total of €243.49m over the last 31 days. 

The January transfer deadline struck at 19.00 GMT on Monday evening. Milan failed to get a deal over the line for Jean-Philippe Mateta, but there was still plenty of action on the final day of the window, including Juventus’s signing of Emil Holm from Bologna, Joao Mario moving in the opposite direction, and Roma’s acquisition of Bryan Zaragoza from Bayern Munich. 

The full month brought several new additions, including new Roma striker Donyell Malen, Napoli’s acquisition of Giovane and the return of Giacomo Raspadori from Atletico Madrid. 

Technically, Lorenzo Lucca, who left Napoli to join Nottingham Forest in January, was the most expensive Serie A signing this month. That is because the Italy international was still on loan with an option to buy at Napoli, and the Partenopei had to exercise that option to buy clause from Udinese before sending him to the Premier League. 

Coming in at joint-second are Giacomo Raspadori, who joined Atalanta after six months in LaLiga with Atletico Madrid, and Robinio Vaz, who joined Roma in a permanent deal from Olympique de Marseille. 

Below are the top 10 most expensive permanent signings from the 2026 January transfer window in Serie A.

Exams undergone by Giovanni Di Lorenzo have ruled out a serious knee injury, and with his recovery time expected to be between 40 and 60 days, Italy and Gennaro Gattuso hope the versatile defender will be available for the World Cup play-off next month.

Napoli defender Di Lorenzo could be available for Italy’s World Cup play-off next month.

Di Lorenzo injury update

The Azzurri defender was subbed off during Napoli’s last Serie A match against Fiorentina.

The Partenopei initially feared Di Lorenzo had suffered a knee ligament injury, but exams undergone at Villa Stuart on Monday highlighted a second-degree sprain to the left knee.

This means Di Lorenzo will likely remain on the sidelines for 40 to 60 days as he won’t undergo surgery, but only follow a conservative treatment.

Will Di Lorenzo be available for Italy’s World Cup play-off?

According to Gazzetta, Italy coach Gattuso hopes the experienced defender will recover in time for the World Cup play-off scheduled for the end of March.

Italy will host Northern Ireland in the semifinal on March 26, and if they progress, they will then visit Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Final.

Lazio were the biggest spenders in Serie A during the winter transfer window, while Juventus were the only club not to spend a penny as they secured Jeremie Boga and Emil Holm on free loan deals.

The winter transfer window for Serie A clubs ended on Monday, February 2, so it’s time to review the activity of every team in Italy’s top flight, including how much they spent over the last month.

Serie A: Lazio the biggest spenders in 2026 winter transfer window

Lazio had been imposed a transfer embargo during the summer transfer window, so it is not entirely surprising to see the Biancocelesti spend more than any other club in Italy during the January window.

Furthermore, Maurizio Sarri saw two regular starters, Matteo Guendouzi and Valentin Castellanos, leave the Olimpico last month, so the Bianconcelesti had to sign replacements in central midfield and attack.

As reported by Transfermarkt, Milan spent €8m to sign promising Verona midfielder Alphadjo Cissè, 19, who was then sent to Serie B side Catanzaro on loan.

The Rossoneri also signed Niclas Fullkrug from West Ham, on loan with an option to buy.

Ranking: Biggest Serie A spenders in the 2026 winter transfer window

Roma 26m

Atalanta 22m

Every winter, Italian clubs scramble to try to find the players who can make a mid-season difference. Giancarlo Rinaldi gives out the grades for their efforts this year.

Only a fool would try to assess the potential impact of acquisitions that have barely had a chance to play for their new employer,s but here we go again. It is worth remembering that it can sometimes be the players that you move on or keep who can be as important as the ones you bring in. With that in mind, here are the marks out of 10 for all 20 Serie A sides this winter window.

Atalanta 6/10 – In the end it probably boils down to whether you think Giacomo Raspadori plus a handsome profit is worth losing Ademola Lookman for. The ex-Napoli man looks sharp already while the departures of Daniel Maldini and Marco Brescianini may reduce the depth of the squad but should not cause major damage.

Bologna 5.5/10 – A bit of a bland market that looks unlikely to see an upturn in their midtable form. The effective swap of Emil Holm for Joao Mario with Juventus looks a balanced enough trade, while Simon Sohm will need to show an improvement on his Fiorentina form to convince that he was worth losing Giovanni Fabbian for.

Cagliari 6.5/10 – Sometimes it is not about who you buy or sell but who you keep and hanging on to a hot property like young Marco Palestra could be key to the Sardinians’ survival, which is looking more and more likely. The actual incomings and outgoings probably fall under the category of “time will tell” when it comes to their effectiveness.

Como 5/10 – On paper, at least, a little bit underwhelming for a side with such financial backing, but their eye for talent could well mean Swedish teenager Adrian Ladho is one to watch. Keeping hold of their best players – with Martin Baturina in particular attracting attention – was an achievement, but the club has sufficient wealth to say no to all but the biggest deals.

Cremonese 6/10 – None of their arrivals look like setting Serie A alight but they are all proven performers. Milan Djuric will give them a different option in attack while Youseff Maleh, Morten Thorsby and Sebastiano Luperto are well-known quantities who can surely ensure the work already done towards survival continues.

Fiorentina 5.5/10 – The best part of the Viola transfer market was probably getting rid of a number of the summer signings that did not work out including Simon Sohm, Edin Dzeko and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia. They have added width with Manor Solomon and Jack Harrison but there was no real big name to fire hopes of rocketing back up the table.

Genoa 7/10 – As a fully signed-up member of the Tommaso Baldanzi fan club, this mark is probably more in hope than expectation. Daniele De Rossi has already put the fight into the Grifone, but the talented Roma man could add that dash of quality which will make their survival fight a more stylish one than it has been so far.

Inter 5/10 – We have what we hold is an understandable approach from the Nerazzurri but not the kind of thing to get fans delighted. The purchase of Yanis Massolin is an exciting one but clearly one for the future as the young French midfielder will remain on loan at Modena, where he has shone in Serie B.

Juventus 5/10 – There was plenty of smoke but not much substance to the Bianconeri’s transfer window work with the arrivals of Emil Holm and Jeremie Boga hardly the stuff to get pulses racing. Maybe it could be argued that a recent upturn in form shows they did not need to force the issue but it will still disappoint the fans.

Lazio 5.5/10 – The Biancocelesti have been busy after having their transfer ban lifted with Kenneth Taylor already looking like a smart signing. The losses of Matteo Guendouzi and Taty Castellanos leave gaps to be filled but the biggest story was probably Alessio Romagnoli’s switch to Al-Sadd falling through due to a document mix-up, which is a bit embarrassing.

Lecce 5.5/10 – They will have to hope that they have found a couple of gems in a signing basket, including Omri Gandelman, Oumar Ngom and Sadik Fofana. The good news is that they have managed that in the past, so a repeat is not out of the question. Walid Cheddira is more of a known quantity and gives them options up front.

Milan 5/10 – Another one of Italy’s bigs to be linked with plenty of players but, in the end, they only managed a couple of arrivals. Niclas Fullkrug gives a focal point to their attack while teenager Alphadjo Cissè is definitely interesting. But the collapse of a deal for Jean-Philippe Mateta felt pretty much typical of their efforts.

Napoli 5/10 – Add their name to the list of top teams who will have left their fans feeling cheated this January. Lorenzo Lucca goes to England for a nice bundle of cash – at least potentially – while the problematic Noa Lang finds a new home. Young Verona forward Giovane and Alisson Santos from Sporting CP will at least enjoy a move up the table thanks to their transfers.

Parma 6.5/10 – It will be a battle to stay afloat but they have added some quality to their fight with Hans Nicolussi Caviglia likely to enjoy a better time than he did in Florence. Gabriel Strefezza adds a dash of unpredictability and excitement while the loss of Hernani and Mathias Lovik will hardly be felt much at all.

Pisa 4.5/10 – They had to roll the dice and they definitely have but what number will come up remains to be seen. Having got rid of Alberto Gilardino as coach, they have at least got a goal already from new man Rafiu Durosinmi. Samuel Iling-Junior knows Serie A well enough but seems unlikely to produce enough to drag them to safety.

Roma 7.5/10 – Donyell Malen may be the signing who has made the most immediate impact this winter with some eye-catching moments already. Robinio Vaz is one of the biggest investments of the window and certainly does not seem to lack character. Tommaso Baldanzi leaves having found little space while Leon Bailey was dogged by injury in his short spell in the capital.

Sassuolo 5.5/10 – Whatever the question was, can the answer possibly have been M’Bala Nzola? The Angolan was far from thrilling at Pisa but maybe he can thrive in surroundings where the pressure of potential relegation is a little bit less intense. Their other new faces are intriguing but not necessarily of immediate use.

Torino 6/10 – A decent window that will surely help the Granata to enjoy another season of survival – if not a lot more. Kristjan Asllani and Cyril Ngonge made little impression between them so it will be up to Matteo Prati and Luca Marianucci to surpass them which, in truth, should really not be too hard.

Udinese 6/10 – The revolving door at the Stadio Friuli is rarely still and there were more heading out than in this winter. Branimir Mlacic and Juan Arizala definitely fall into the players with potential category and will look to make their mark while Iker Bravo and Sandi Lovric leave due to a lack of playing time. Saba Goglichidze ensures another window sees a move between the club and Watford.

Verona 5/10 – Their coach is gone but for a club with a need of a jolt, was this transfer session sufficient? It will be exciting to see another Scot give Serie A a go in the shape of Hibs’ record sale Kieron Bowie but he will surely have his work cut out to turn things around. Sandi Lovric should do a job while Pol Lirola at least knows Italy even if he has never exactly impressed.

Napoli have officially signed Alisson Santos from Sporting CP, on loan for a reported fee of €3m with option to buy for a further €16m.

The left-sided attacking winger is Brazilian, but also has Tunisian citizenship.

There are still some doubts over the precise figures, but Sky Sport Italia claim this evening that the total cost would reach €19m rather than €23m, although there might be further add-ons.

Alisson Santos comes to Serie A for Napoli

He came to Europe for Leiria in 2024 and EC Vitoria sold him to Sporting CP in July 2025 at a cost of €2.1m.

His profile soared over the last six months thanks to three goals and three assists in 31 competitive games for Sporting CP.

Curiously, all his goals were scored in the Champions League.

Alisson Santos is 23 years old and right-footed, but plays primarily on the left wing of an attacking trident.

Meanwhile, Napoli have also completed the loan of Giuseppe Ambrosino to Modena until the end of the season.

Antonio Conte insists no action is being taken to ease the fixture congestion and taunts Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri: ‘Surely, he is not playing that much this year.’

Conte received the Panchina d’Oro award for the best Serie A coach in 2024-25 on Monday.

The Napoli coach spoke to reporters after the ceremony held in Florence and faced more questions about his recent complaints over a busy fixture list.

Conte: ‘Everyone talks, but then nobody does anything.’

“I think we all agree. The problem is that it’s hard to speak out and take a position, because everyone talks, but then nobody does anything. That’s the truth,” Conte said via FcInter1908.

“We’ll keep going like this, knowing that what I said is true anyway. There are institutions in charge of these matters. The German federation was taking a stance to do something, but it couldn’t act on its own, for example, as a group of coaches.

“As for the Serie A teams, those are situations that don’t concern me directly, but it’s a problem we all agree on, including the media, because too many matches are played and the risk is too high. But in the end, nothing is being done, that’s the truth,” the Napoli boss continued.

Milan coach Allegri had just held his press conference ahead of a Serie A match against Bologna, saying, “I read a lot of controversy. We are not the ones who have to find solutions; there are competent people who must find solutions for the good of football.”

Conte commented: “I don’t know what Allegri said in his press conference. Surely this year, he is not playing that much.”

Conte’s Napoli had to deal with many injuries this season, including those of Kevin De Bruyne, Frank Zambo Anguissa, Billy Gilmour, David Neres and Romelu Lukaku.

The Partenopei feared that even Giovanni Di Lorenzo had sustained a long-term injury, but recent exams in his knee highlighted a second-degree sprain, meaning that he won’t need surgery, returning to action in mid-March.

Di Lorenzo’s injury relief and his latest award at least made Conte smile after days of tension.

“Those things must never be missing. During matches, there’s the stress of the job, an accumulation of fatigue, and it’s hard to hide it. However, you have to be optimistic and try to find a solution even in the worst moments,” he concluded.

Sporting CP winger Alisson Santos is in Italy, has reportedly completed his medical and is now just an official announcement away from being formally announced as a new Napoli player. 

Alisson announcement approaching for Napoli

The 23-year-old is expected to join Antonio Conte’s side on an initial loan deal until the end of the 2025-26 season at a cost of €3m. There will also be a future option to buy for a set fee of €20m included in the deal. 

He is set to become Napoli’s second signing of the January transfer window following the previous addition of Giovane from Hellas Verona. 

Alisson had his medical in Rome immediately after arriving in the Italian capital. He is now expected to travel to Naples to train with his new teammates for the first time. 

Alisson has made 18 appearances in the Portuguese top flight so far this season and also has three goals from eight Champions League appearances to his name in 2025-26.

— Gianluca Di Marzio (@DiMarzio) February 2, 2026

January has brought plenty of transfer action in Serie A, but teams now have less than 12 hours remaining to complete any potential business.

When does the Serie A transfer window close? 

The 2026 winter transfer window will close at 19.00 GMT (20.00 CET) on Monday, February 2 in Serie A. 

After that point, teams will no longer be able to register any new signings, but will still be able to sanction player departures to leagues whose transfer windows remain open. 

The Serie A window closes at the same time as most of Europe’s top five leagues. The windows in Serie A, the Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 all align. 

The LaLiga window is set to close a few hours later at 22.59 GMT (23.59 CET). This is also the same for the Eredivisie. 

The Saudi Pro League window will also close on Monday night. 

The window in Portugal will remain open until Tuesday and the window in Turkey and Greece will remain open until Friday, February 6.

Luciano Spalletti explains Pierre Kalulu’s positioning at Juventus, reveals a Kenan Yildiz fitness problem, and assures they ‘don’t want Mauro Icardi’ from Galatasaray.

The Bianconeri ran riot at the Stadio Tardini this evening for a 4-1 victory, with centre-back Gleison Bremer grabbing a rare brace, along with the acrobatic Weston McKennie volley and Jonathan David tap-in.

Parma only managed to find the back of the net thanks to a comical Andrea Cambiaso own goal on Alessandro Circati’s cross, while Lois Openda’s effort in stoppages was ruled offside.

Spalletti keeps Juventus on their toes

“It is better not to look at statistics, as often those come from static situations that do not influence the result, as football is more about sudden changes of pace, duels and second balls, that is where you get into the real game. Whoever is more wide awake there can win the match,” Spalletti told DAZN Italia.

In their post-match interview, Gleison Bremer and Weston McKennie called the coach ‘unique’ and said they’d never worked with anyone quite like him.

“If they said that, naturally it is pleasing. What is fundamental for me is having a rapport with a team that wants to enjoy its football, because that is how you unleash the quality we saw today. They must never be disconnected from the match, so always plugged in and ready for the next situation.

“Every game is a step for us to learn, and it is never definitive, it is a process that keeps going. In any case, I told them they shouldn’t compliment me, but instead praise their teammates. This group has the potential to be a great team, thanks also to that unity and enjoyment they have in training and in a match situation. They combine enthusiasm with determination, no matter what you ask of them.”

Pierre Kalulu pushes forward a lot in Spalletti’s Juventus down the right flank, not dissimilar to Giovanni Di Lorenzo at Napoli, and provided the assist for McKennie’s volley.

“This position is crucial to give alternatives and create some chaos in the marking of the opposition team. He has this ability to start runs at the right time. A team must have this ability to go from tight to stretched out in a moment, knowing when to play short and when to go long,” noted Spalletti.

“As you mentioned Di Lorenzo, I want to send him my best wishes to return to the field as soon as possible, because he deserves all the best. When I saw him hurt like that, it pained all of us. He is the master at that positioning between the lines, he is a complete player, and Kalulu is getting to that level too. He dictates the tempo for his teammates.”

Kenan Yildiz was rested midweek in the Champions League 0-0 draw away to AS Monaco and started this evening, but went off at half-time after complaining of muscular issues.

“Yildiz told us during the first half he felt a bit of pain, but he could make it to half-time,” explained Spalletti.

“We trusted him, but he now has a bit of pain even when walking, so we have to evaluate it, but it shouldn’t be too serious. I think it’ll be tough to get him ready for Thursday.”

The transfer deadline is tomorrow and Juve have already snapped up two players today, securing Jeremie Boga from OGC Nice on loan and Emil Holm from Bologna in an exchange with Joao Mario.

They are still looking for a centre-forward, but before kick-off director Giorgio Chiellini ruled out deals for Mauro Icardi, Jean-Philippe Mateta or Randal Kolo Muani.

“I get asked about Icardi and Osimhen in a press conference, so I can only speak highly of Icardi as a player when he was in my team,” explained Spalletti.

“There were other situations that he took into the locker room that were about his home life and didn’t belong in the locker room, so I had to talk to him. When you are in a dressing room, you cannot keep the door open to let in other matters.

“I had to make a decision then, and I decided to exclude him, so he had a reaction based on that. He is a good lad, a lovely person, and a fantastic striker. But we don’t want Icardi. Is that ok?

“If I speak highly of someone then it goes all over the headlines that I want to sign him, but it’s not true. We are looking for a player with specific characteristics, if we don’t find him, then we’ll stay as we are. After all, McKennie is as good a hitman as anyone, you saw him again tonight.”

Napoli are breathing a sigh of relief after tests showed Giovanni Di Lorenzo avoided serious knee ligament damage, so he might only be out for a month.

There had been genuine concerns that his season was over after he hyperextended his left knee during yesterday’s 2-1 Serie A win over Fiorentina.

The Partenopei captain was stretchered off in agony and seen leaving the stadium on crutches.

Di Lorenzo avoided far worse damage

Coach Antonio Conte said in post-match interviews that the medical staff feared he had torn the anterior cruciate ligament, which would’ve meant five to six months on the touchline.

Instead, a formal statement today confirmed no ligament damage, as Di Lorenzo only sustained a Grade II sprain to the left knee.

According to Sky Sport Italia, it is likely that he could be back on the field in just over a month’s time.

He will have a specialist consultation to decide on how to proceed with the recovery programme.

Multiple sources claim that Napoli are in talks with Cagliari to sign Gabriele Zappa as a replacement for the injured Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

Napoli have targeted Cagliari right-back Zappa as a potential replacement for Di Lorenzo.

Napoli in talks to sign Di Lorenzo’s replacement

The latter suffered a suspected knee injury during a Serie A match against Fiorentina on Saturday, urging Napoli to look for a replacement just one day before the end of the winter transfer window on February 2.

Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio and Repubblica claim that negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with Zappa very much open to moving to the Stadio Maradona.

Zappa open to joining Napoli

According to Repubblica, Napoli turned to Zappa after Genoa asked for a loan deal with an obligation to buy worth €20m for Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

Zappa is currently Napoli’s top target to replace Di Lorenzo. As per Sky Sport, the other options for the Partenopei are Ignace Van der Brempt (Como), Davide Calabria (Panathinaikos)  and Timothy Castagne of Fulham.

Vergara jewel, but Di Lorenzo gets injured. Conte against everyone.

Despite the serious Giovanni Di Lorenzo injury, Napoli will reportedly go ahead and complete the swoop for Sporting CP wide striker Alisson Santos, on loan with option to buy for a total €20m.

Di Lorenzo was stretchered off during today’s 2-1 win over Fiorentina and coach Antonio Conte suggested they fear he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

If confirmed, that would be the end of the captain’s season, robbing Napoli of a versatile defender who can play in a wide role too.

Di Lorenzo won’t change Napoli pursuit of Alisson

However, Sky Sport Italia claim that will not change their transfer strategy, so the focus remains on investing in a new attacking wide man.

That will be Alisson Santos, who is expected to arrive over the weekend on loan for €3.5m from Sporting CP.

There is an option to buy that is not an obligation, which would bring the entire cost of the operation to circa €20m.

The 23-year-old Brazilian is right-footed and attacks down the left flank, scoring three goals with two assists in 30 competitive games this season.

Serie A clubs were busy today as they race to wrap up deals before the transfer window closes on Monday.

Youssef Maleh joined Cremonese on loan from Lecce, Genoa activated their option to sign Leo Ostigard on a permanent deal and Cyril Ngonge and Luca Marianucci left Napoli on loan moves.

Lecce saw two players leave today, with Frenchman Balthazar Pierret returning to his home country with Red Star FC in Ligue 2, and Maleh joining fellow Serie A side Cremonese on loan until the end of the season.

Antonio Vergara is the man of the moment at the minute in Naples.

Napoli are currently going through the motions as the Scudetto holders face a growing injury list, an awkward early exit from the UEFA Champions League and a real fight on their hands to retain the Serie A trophy.

However, if there was one silver lining amongst all these dark clouds it would be the impressive performances of Vergara.

The 23-year-old had not played a senior minute for the Partenopei before this season, and spent the last two seasons on loan with Reggiana in Serie B.

Despite this, it is Vergara who has won the heart of Naples in the last couple of weeks.

Vergara thrust into the limelight for Napoli but thrives

On Wednesday, he scored a spectacular goal after a slick solo run in the Champions League against Chelsea. It was his first goal for his boyhood club and he scored it in style.

On Saturday, Vergara scored again, this time in Napoli’s 2-1 win against Fiorentina, that helped ease the pressure on the side after the disappointing Champions League exit. The Italian also assisted the other goal on the night, as he continues to impress.

It is strange, though, that his opportunity was only really born out of the ongoing injury crisis in Naples.

Without the circumstances, it was unlikely Vergara was going to see much first team football this season and, at 23-years-old, he is moving past the point of being sent out on loan again and again but Napoli.

When Napoli have a full roster again, it will be interesting to see whether Conte rewards Vergara’s impressive run of form with more minutes, or if he falls back down the pecking order completely.

What does the future hold for Vergara?

Regardless of that, Vergara can only gain from his continued performances – in the sense that he may be able to convince another Serie A side to take a gamble on him – and Napoli may choose to cash in if he’s not deemed of the right level for the first team.

A move to a club like Genoa or Sassuolo could suit the Italian, where he would be able to get more game time than at Napoli and I would not be surprised if this was the case.

We shall see what happens – and obviously it feels exceedingly premature to be having these sorts of hypothetical conversations about a player with just 12 appearances to his name for Napoli.

However, Vergara is winning the hearts of Napoli fans and impressing pundits, and right now he is a much needed breath of fresh air in Naples.

Paolo Vanoli feels Fiorentina ‘deserved something more’ from their 2-1 defeat to Napoli and is open to a new heavy strike partnership in future.

The Viola had been revitalised in 2026, but have now lost three on the bounce in all competition after defeats to Cagliari, then Como in the Coppa Italia, and this evening Napoli.

Antonio Vergara and Miguel Gutierrez had put the Partenopei 2-0 up, but Manor Solomon got one back and set up a tense finale at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Vanoli saw Fiorentina progress against Napoli

“We need to stay in the game more, because I said that the first half would mean suffering under pressure, we shouldn’t have conceded that goal,” Vanoli told DAZN Italia.

“Individual errors are becoming very damaging at the moment. We did better after the restart and in my view deserved something more.”

Moise Kean was only fit for the bench, but when he came on as a substitute, formed a new partnership with Roberto Piccoli.

When both are fit, is it possible for Fiorentina to start them together upfront?

“At times, Roberto struggled with the step up to a club like Fiorentina, but he works hard and I liked the pairing this evening,” replied Vanoli.

“Now we’ve got to get Moise back to full fitness. We are a decent team now, but need to whittle down those little errors that saw us drop points against Lazio and Milan.

“We always struggled against the smaller sides because we didn’t have enough balance, so in those fixtures we’ll understand if we have really improved.”

Vanoli is no stranger to Antonio Conte’s tactics, as he was part of the Napoli coach’s staff at Chelsea and Inter before going it alone.

With this in mind, he had a warm hug with ex-Inter striker Romelu Lukaku after the final whistle.

“Those were good memories, I was Conte’s assistant at Inter and Romelu was an important part of that squad. When a player comes over to hug you, it means you gave them something special in their career.”

Antonio Conte confirms Giovanni Di Lorenzo has probably torn his ACL, then lashes out angrily at Napoli directors, UEFA and more. ‘We need a bigger squad, otherwise it’s suicide.’

The Partenopei were in dire need of a boost after back-to-back defeats against Juventus in Serie A and Chelsea in the Champions League, the latter sealing their early elimination.

Antonio Vergara scored his first senior Napoli goal in that midweek tie and this evening got his first in Serie A, followed by Miguel Gutierrez for a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina.

Conte confirms season probably over for Di Lorenzo

There was bad news too for Napoli, as captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo was stretchered off in agony after his left knee seemed to hyper-extend, prompting fears of ligament damage.

“There’s not much we can say, it’s game upon game upon game, we have to keep using players who ought to be rested and yet can’t, it leads to these situations,” Conte told DAZN Italia.

“I tore my cruciate ligament, I know it’s a traumatic injury. I continue to say playing all these matches, it kills the players and kills football.

“Now there are restrictions on who you can have in the squad, and ours is even smaller because we don’t have many players from the youth academy, and the ones we do have want to go out on loan to play more regularly.

“We pulled Vergara out the hat, then there are age limits, but if we have to play 60 games per year, we need a bigger squad, otherwise it’s suicide.”

Di Lorenzo has not had the tests yet, but Conte suggests the initial feedback from the medical staff is very bad indeed.

“The sensation is he’s done serious damage to his knee and it’s the cruciate ligament. It’s nasty. You know full well what Di Lorenzo means for us.

“People say I complain, but we’re doing anything but complaining considering this is an infinite series of injuries. They are bad injuries too, not just muscular ones for 2-4 weeks out, these are serious.

“We are managing to plug the holes because these lads are doing extraordinary things. Once again, there weren’t many options on the bench.”

Conte then lashed out at the Napoli hierarchy, but at the football calendar in general with the expanded Champions League and Supercoppa Italiana.

“Clubs don’t seem to understand it’s like a dog chasing its own tail. You fight to qualify for all these tournaments to get more money, but it’s ephemeral, because the more competitions you are in, the more players you have to buy, the more the wage bill goes up.

“If they don’t understand that, then football will go in a bad direction and leads to this sort of thing. I don’t just mean Napoli, I am speaking out in general to defend players and it’s a shame everyone turns their backs on players in favour of the clubs, leagues, UEFA, etc. I say this as an ex-player.”

This is a team already stretched thin without Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, David Neres, Matteo Politano, Amir Rrahmani, Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne and Billy Gilmour.

When Di Lorenzo was injured, why did Conte introduce Mathias Olivera rather than centre-back Sam Beukema?

“I introduced Mathias because right now he gives me more guarantees than Beukema, that’s it,” shrugged the Napoli coach.

“We are talking about a team trying to do its best with what we have at our disposal. Fortunately, we picked up these points, but if the season had started today and we had this squad, what position do you think Napoli would be challenging for? Be realistic.

“We have the Coppa Italia, we want to qualify for Europe, but it becomes very difficult, especially as the other clubs are bringing in reinforcements, while we are under a transfer embargo.

“That is just fantastic,” added Conte sarcastically. “We are the only club running at a profit of €240m and are banned from making transfers.

“Honestly, I am really p***ed off about Di Lorenzo, so it’s best we wrap this up or I’ll say something else and get into trouble.”

Napoli bounced back from their midweek Champions League exit to pick up an important three points in Serie A with a 2-1 win against Fiorentina.

Young forward Antonio Vergara, only really in the squad because of the extensive injuries to Antonio Conte’s squad, impressed once again and was Football Italia’s Player of the Match with a goal and an assist.

Napoli 2-1 Fiorentina – Player Ratings

Napoli: Meret 7; Di Lorenzo 6 (Olivera 5.5), Juan Jesus 6, Buongiorno 6; Gutierrez 7, Lobotka 6, McTominay 6.5, Spinazzola 6; Vergara 8 (Giovane N/A), Elmas 6.5; Hojlund 6

Best Napoli player: Antonio Vergara – The youngster once again shines after his impressive solo goal against Chelsea during the week. Tonight he scored a goal and assisted the other, effectively winning his side the three points.

Lowest Napoli rating: Mathias Olivera – Came on for the injured Di Lorenzo in the first half but struggled a little. Was not bad but struggled to get the better of his marker.

Coach: Antonio Conte 6.5 – Still working with a very limited squad, and off the back of an exhausting 90 minutes against Napoli during the week, the coach did well to secure the three points.

Fiorentina: De Gea 6; Dodo 6.5, Comuzzo 5.5, Pongracic 5.5, Gosens 5.5 (Ranieri 6); Fagiolo 6; Solomon 6.5 (Kean 6), Fabbian 5.5 (Mandragora 6), Brescianini 5.5 (Parisi 6), Gudmundsson 6 (Fazzini N/A); Piccoli 6.5

Best Fiorentina player: Manor Solomon – Scored Fiorentina’s goal and looked more dangerous than the rest of Fiorentina’s offensive players. Was not overly involved put did not put a foot wrong when he did have possession.

Lowest Fiorentina rating: Pietro Comuzzo – The young defender was disappointing this evening, in keeping with recent form. He struggled in his duels, both on the ground and in the air, and was beaten far too easily on more than one occasion.

Coach: Paolo Vanoli 6 – Set up his team well against the Champions but was unable to come away with anything to show for it. A decent display from the Viola coach, all things considered.

Antonio Vergara and Miguel Gutierrez got their first ever Serie A goals to put Napoli back on track against Fiorentina, but Giovanni Di Lorenzo was stretchered off.

The Partenopei were coming off back-to-back defeats to Juventus and Chelsea, the latter sealing their Champions League elimination midweek. The epic injury crisis meant there was no room for squad rotation, as Vanja Milinkovic-Savic was only fit for the bench, with David Neres, Matteo Politano, Amir Rrahmani, Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne and Billy Gilmour out. The Viola also lost two on the bounce, 2-1 to Cagliari in Serie A and a Coppa Italia exit to Como. Tariq Lamptey was the only absentee, as Moise Kean returned to the bench after an ankle issue.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Miguel Gutierrez volleyed just wide from the edge of the area, but Napoli broke through with an emotional moment for Vergara. The hometown player scored his first Champions League goal against Chelsea, and here got his first in Serie A.

The long Alex Meret ball was meant to be for Rasmus Hojlund, but as Marin Pongracic brought him down, it kept going with Vergara sprinting clear to beat the on-rushing David De Gea.

Scott McTominay’s acrobatic bicycle kick went over the bar, while Pongracic charged down another Vergara strike.

Hojlund twice tried to tap in a roll across from the right, but it was charged down right on the line by Pietro Comuzzo, who deflected it onto the base of the upright.

Moments later, Fiorentina had a huge double opportunity from a free kick, as first Roberto Piccoli’s header bounced off the upright, then the move continued and Alex Meret made an extraordinary reaction save on Albert Gudmundsson from point-blank range.

During that move, Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s left knee buckled and he was stretchered off in agony, replaced by Mathias Olivera.

Eljif Elmas rode three tackles for a shot deflected by Marco Brescianini, then McTominay tested De Gea on the rebound, while Hojlund struck the side-netting on a Vergara lay-off.

Rolando Mandragora came on and immediately skimmed the upright with a free kick, but Napoli doubled their lead instead.

Vergara spread the play down the right for Miguel Gutierrez, who cut inside Robin Gosens and bent a left-foot finish into the far bottom corner, with De Gea perhaps unsighted.

Fiorentina did get one back when Dodo sent Piccoli through the middle, forcing a Meret save, but Manor Solomon was ready to turn in the rebound.

Hojlund twice aimed weak finishes into the arms of De Gea, while Kean was offside when he dribbled around Meret to clip the outside of the upright.

Kean did force a tricky save out of Meret at the near post moments later, and Mandragora’s strike was charged down from the resulting corner.

A deflected McTominay attempt was tricky for De Gea and Giovane’s volley was charged down, but Piccoli turned wide when off balance in stoppages from six yards on a Dodo cross.

Kean sprung the offside trap on Fagioli’s floated ball only to scuff the angled drive wide after a heavy first touch.

Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo was stretchered off in agony after his left knee appeared to buckle during today’s match against Fiorentina.

The Partenopei were leading 1-0 through an Antonio Vergara goal and had just seen Roberto Piccoli’s header bounce off the upright when Di Lorenzo went to charge down an effort.

As he landed, his left knee seemed to buckle under him, and he immediately called to the bench for medical assistance.

Napoli worried by Di Lorenzo injury

The captain was visibly in a great deal of pain as he was loaded onto a stretcher and taken away by ambulance, where he will undergo tests at the local hospital.

Di Lorenzo was replaced by Mathias Olivera, but there are concerns there could be significant ligament damage.

It is just the latest blow in an epic injury crisis at Napoli, who are already missing Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, David Neres, Amir Rrahmani, Matteo Politano, Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne and Billy Gilmour.

Antonio Conte admits he has mixed feelings about Napoli’s Champions League exit, because it would’ve been ‘honestly impossible’ to continue with more games during the injury crisis.

This evening they host Fiorentina at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 17.00 GMT (18.00 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s three Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Partenopei only have Serie A and the Coppa Italia to focus on now, as the 3-2 defeat to Chelsea here saw them eliminated from the Champions League just 67 hours ago.

Conte sees Napoli ‘on right track’

“I tried to evaluate the game with them, which I thought was very positive,” Conte told DAZN Italia.

“We created many chances and were not suitably rewarded for them, so we have regrets at going out of this competition. At the same time, we must gain belief from seeing we are on the right track at a European level, so can achieve great satisfaction.

“Like every journey, you need a bit of luck, and we are still missing a lot of players. There are things we can learn and develop so that in future we can do better.”

The injury crisis continues to take its toll, ruling out Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, David Neres, Matteo Politano, Amir Rrahmani, Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne and Billy Gilmour.

Luca Marianucci officially completed his loan to Torino today, but how long will it take for Romelu Lukaku to be ready for Napoli?

“Lukaku played 19 minutes over two games. Romelu had a really nasty injury, he is speeding up the recovery process, but we need patience and will try to set up some midweek friendlies to get him back to match fitness.

“That was difficult so far, as we had barely any training sessions and a game every three days. Romelu is an important figure both within the team and the locker room, so we hope he and others can get back to fitness.

“It’s fortunate really that the number of matches have been reduced now, otherwise it would’ve been honestly impossible to continue,” concluded Conte.

Napoli try to put Champions League disappointment behind them and focus on Serie A with Rasmus Hojlund, Scott McTominay and Antonio Vergara, while Fiorentina look to Albert Gudmundsson.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 17.00 GMT (18.00 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s three Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Partenopei crashed out of Europe on Wednesday with their 3-2 home defeat to Chelsea, as the epic injury crisis continues to take its toll.

There is no room for squad rotation, as Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is still not fully fit, with David Neres, Matteo Politano, Amir Rrahmani, Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne and Billy Gilmour out.

Luca Marianucci was loaned to Torino today, with new signing Giovane on the bench after his debut as a substitute in the 3-0 defeat to Juventus.

The only changes from the side that lost to Chelsea are in position, with Miguel Gutierrez and Leonardo Spinazzola expected to swap flanks in a 3-4-2-1 formation.

Antonio Vergara continues to impress after his wonder goal against Chelsea, supporting Hojlund with Eljif Elmas.

Fiorentina remain in the relegation zone, but had certainly improved in 2026 with two wins and two draws before their 2-1 home loss to Cagliari.

They were knocked out of the Coppa Italia on Tuesday in a 3-1 defeat to Como as well.

Tariq Lamptey is the only remaining absentee, as Moise Kean is fit enough for a spot on the bench after a recurring ankle issue.

Roberto Piccoli, Dodo and Rolando Mandragora also shook off knocks, as the centre-forward had limped off during that Coppa Italia tie.

January buys Manor Solomon, Giovanni Fabbian, Marco Brescianini and Jack Harrison bolster the squad options.

İtaliyanın “Napoli” klubunun hücumçusu Lorentso Lukka bundan sonra “Nottingem Forest”in uğurları üçün çalışacaq.

Arena.az xəbər verir ki, bu barədə İngiltərə klubu rəsmi saytı vasitəsilə məlumat yayıb.

25 yaşlı hücumçu icarə müqaviləsi əsasında Premyer Liqa təmsilçisinə qoşulub. Tərəflər arasında müqavilə 2025/2026-cı illər mövsümünün sonuna qədərdir. Razılaşmada İngiltərə təmsilçisinin oyunçunun transfer hüquqlarını almaq seçimi də var.

“Napoli” Lukkanı “Udineze”dən icarə müqaviləsi əsasında heyətinə qatsa da, bu ilin əvvəlində 26 milyon avro ödəməklə onun transfer hüquqlarını da almışdı. Lukka cari mövsümdə 23 matça çıxıb, 2 qol vurub.

Lorentso Lukka “Torino”nun məzunudur. Hücumçu, karyerası ərzində “Viçentsa”, “Palermo”, “Piza”, “Ayaks” (icarə) və “Udineze”də çıxış edib.

Lorentso Lukka 2024-cü ilin oktyabr ayında debüt etdiyi İtaliya yığmasının heyətində məhsuldar fəaliyyəti ilə diqqət çəkmədiyi 5 oyun keçirib.

“Transfermarkt” internet-portalı 25 yaşlı italyan mərkəz hücumçusunun transfer dəyərini 25 milyon avro məbləğində qiymətləndirir.
