Napoli has supposedly revived their interest in Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta as they seek a successor for Victor Osimhen. The Italian club is prepared to offload the Nigerian star this summer, a move that could fetch them approximately €120-130 million. With plans to revamp the squad following a disappointing 2023-24 season, Napoli is actively strategizing their transfer activities.

Simultaneously, Napoli continues its pursuit for a new head coach, with several potential candidates in the mix, including Gian Piero Gasperini, Antonio Conte, and Vincenzo Italiano. A decision on the coaching front is anticipated in the forthcoming weeks.

According to reports from L’Equipe, Napoli has pinpointed Crystal Palace’s Mateta as a compelling option to fill Osimhen’s shoes in the upcoming transfer window. There’s a possibility of Napoli initiating discussions with the Premier League outfit soon to explore the prospect of a summer transfer.

Mateta, 26, has garnered attention with his performances for Crystal Palace this season, tallying 13 goals and four assists in 34 league appearances. His impressive form under new coach Oliver Glasner has caught the eye of Napoli, who had previously considered him in 2020 before opting for Osimhen.
