With the Dimaro training camp just two weeks away, and the official squad meet-up scheduled for July 15th in Castel Volturno even sooner, images of Napoli players already working out are appearing on social media. Whether at home or on vacation, the players are pictured in gyms or on fields, getting back in shape and following the training programs set by Conte`s staff to be in good condition for the tests before summer preparation begins. This preparation phase is why Napoli is pushing to finalize deals for a couple of new signings in the coming hours, aiming for medicals next week, right before the start of summer training, as Conte has specifically requested regarding the timing of summer transfers.
Lang Deal Nearing Completion
Yesterday was dedicated to finalizing all aspects of the deal for **Lang**, reportedly closed around €30 million including bonuses. Only payment terms need to be agreed upon for the medical examination to proceed in the coming days. The deal was facilitated by both Napoli`s desire and the player`s strong push; this time, unlike in January, he managed to help bring the clubs closer, even with some personal concessions. He is set to become the third summer reinforcement after De Bruyne and Marianucci. Like others, he has also appeared on social media working out on the field, already in preparation mode ahead of starting Conte`s training regimen.
Targets from Bologna
Concerning **Targets from Bologna**, another meeting took place yesterday with Bologna, and at least one of the two ongoing operations with the Rossoblù can be considered unblocked. For Beukema, the asking price has dropped to €30 million, while Napoli`s offer has risen to around €28 million with bonuses. Given the player`s strong desire and his agreement on a €3 million per season salary, the deal is expected to be finalized within hours. Napoli hasn`t given up on **Ndoye** either, who is the preferred choice for the second wide reinforcement after Lang, but that process is expected to take longer, and the deal might involve Zanoli, who is appreciated by Italiano.
Other Positions Need Time
Conversely, **Other Positions** requiring reinforcement will need more time. There`s been no progress with Darwin Nunez; the Neapolitan club must first agree terms with the player before trying to lower Liverpool`s demands, who are starting at €60 million for a player who is exiting and no longer in Slot`s plans. Lucca remains in the background as an alternative, costing roughly half including transfer fee and salary. Similarly, there`s no rush for Sevilla full-back Juanlu Sanchez, identified as a potential backup for Di Lorenzo, as he is on vacation after the U21 European Championship. Meanwhile, yesterday, Rafa Marin completed his medical with Villarreal; only the official announcement is pending.
