According to Il Mattino, the possibility of a return for Juan Jesus, who is a free agent after his time with Napoli, has recently re-emerged. The defender's return would be an economically advantageous solution and the club's management is considering him as an option. Before this can be pursued, Napoli must resolve a regulatory issue, as sporting director Giovanni Manna has to free up a spot on the currently full over-22 list. Only then could the possibility of Juan Jesus' return become a concrete negotiation.

Napoli is considering a return for the 35-year-old Brazilian defender Juan Jesus, who is currently a free agent, as an economical solution to strengthen their defense. The club is exploring such options following Juan Jesus's own departure and an injury to Buongiorno, particularly as they face strong competition from Juventus for their primary defensive target, Jhon Lucumí. The four-time capped Brazil international has a current market value of €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt, and has also been linked with clubs such as Venezia and Sporting CP.
