Napoli Faces Double Blow: Lang Sale, Guiu Transfer

Napoli’s summer transfer window has taken a hit as the club faces two setbacks. The Italian side confirmed that Noa Lang, who joined on a €25 million move from PSV last summer, is no longer on the Galatasaray table, leaving Napoli to seek a replacement elsewhere. Lang’s loan spell at the Turkish club was unproductive, and with the club having invested €43‑45 million in Rafael Leao, a return is unlikely. Meanwhile, Chelsea agreed to sell midfielder Marc Guiu to RB Leipzig, a deal that Napoli had only considered on loan, but the Premier League side resisted. Napoli’s transfer restrictions mean the club must offload a player before signing new ones, putting pressure on the squad’s depth. The double blow leaves Napoli scrambling to balance its books and secure a suitable replacement for Lang while dealing with the loss of Guiu.
