According to Italian transfer journalist Alfredo Pedullà, both Cagliari and Napoli were monitoring Bayer Leverkusen's 18-year-old Italian defender Andrea Natali. However, for what was described as various reasons, the interest from both clubs did not lead to anything. Natali has 18 caps for the Italy U19 team. His contract with the German club runs until June 2027, and he has a current Transfermarkt market value of €400k.
