Napoli Seeks Reinforcement for De Bruyne

Manna Addresses the Team’s Needs

Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna has acknowledged that the club will look to secure a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne during the January transfer window. Following a successful operation on his hamstring, De Bruyne is projected to be out of action until at least March.

The Search for Quality Players

In an interview with Sky Italia, Manna commented, “Integrating new players into the team typically requires time. We are already familiar with several potential candidates, and we hope they can establish themselves within the squad.”

Key Points from Manna’s Statements

  • “Convincing the manager is essential, and players must demonstrate their readiness.”
  • “De Bruyne’s injury leaves a significant gap, as there aren’t many talents like him. We are actively scouting for options and will be prepared when the time is right.”
  • “After a difficult loss in the Champions League, it’s important to remember that players need time to acclimatize. We trust that our efforts will yield positive outcomes, facilitating the integration of newcomers.”

Reflections on Recent Transfers

Manna also shared insights regarding their recent signings, stating, “We believe we have put forth our best efforts during the transfer period. Positive results on the pitch can significantly ease the transition for newly signed players, making it simpler for them to adapt to a different atmosphere.”
