Napoli will need several purchases in the summer and are contemplating two potentially cost-effective Serie A options, Mateo Retegui and Marco Brescianini, who have also been linked to Juventus in previous months, Corriere dello Sport informs.

The Partenopei have several foreign strikers in their crosshairs to replace Victor Osimhen. His valuation is surely inferior. He has scored 8 goals in 27 matches in his maiden season in Italy. He has been brilliant with the Azzurri. Genoa signed him for €15M.

In addition to Retegui, Napoli are mulling targeting Brescianini, who has improved steadily this campaign. He had a superb performance against them in a recent round. He can play in several positions and combines physicality and technique.

The midfielder is one of the few young players Frosinone actually control. They could sell him to turn a profit. The Ciociari will have to give Milan half of the income due to a re-sale clause after snapping him up for free in the summer. He paid his dues at Virtus Entella, Monza, and Cosenza before making it to Serie A.

Our Take on Napoli, Retegui, and Brescianini

They are constantly linked to big-ticket players, but, even with the Victor Osimhen windfall, signings of this caliber are a lot more likely since they’ll probably miss out on the Champions League. Even more so if they’ll spread their budget to bolster several positions, as they should given their numerous holes.
