Napoli ramp up talks for explosive Dutch winger Noa Lang

Serie A giants Napoli have added PSV Eindhoven winger Noa Lang to their list of potential targets for the summer (h/t Corriere dello Sport, Page 10).

Fresh off their Scudetto triumph, Napoli plan to back Antonio Conte with a big transfer budget to build a formidable squad.

With Kevin De Bruyne already sealing a sensational move to Diego Maradona Stadium, more signings are expected to follow.

Bologna’s Dan Ndoye remains the primary target to reinforce the left flank, while the Partenopei have also initiated talks to explore a move for Lang.

The Dutch international had a brilliant campaign with PSV last season, bagging 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.

Returning from a long-term hamstring injury, Lang’s unstoppable form drove PSV to a thrilling Eredivisie title victory.

Unsurprisingly, the 26-year-old has drawn interest from some prominent clubs, including Ligue 1 giants Marseille.

The Dutch giants are ready to listen to offers for the former Club Brugge star for around €25-30 million. His contract runs until 2028.

Known for his dribbling flair, sublime ball progression, playmaking and finishing, Lang can be an ideal signing for Napoli to bolster their attack.

They have been trying to fill the void of talisman winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for a while, and the Dutch star would be a like-for-like replacement.

A big target man like Romelu Lukaku can benefit from Lang’s crossing abilities and nous for threading dangerous passes into the box.

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is among the potential targets, but Napoli are baulking at his €70 million valuation.
