Noa Lang leaving Napoli?
According to Turkish sources, the agents of Noa Lang are planning a trip to Istanbul to listen to offers with the support of intermediary George Gardi. The Dutch winger would like to play for the Italian champions, but the situation is uncertain and could develop in unexpected ways.
According to various Italian media, Noa Lang may seek a transfer only six months after moving to Napoli from PSV. Lang has a poor relationship with trainer Antonio Conte, and the arrival of Federico Chiesa could hasten a potential transfer for him.
Il Mattino reports that Giovanni Manna will listen to offers for Noa Lang in January. The same report considers the potential departure of Lang after only six months at Napoli to be surprising, given his recent playing time. Noa Lang has scored 1 goal for Napoli this season in 21 matches across league and cup competitions.
Napoli director Giovanni Manna does not rule out a winter departure for Noa Lang. Due to a transfer ban, Napoli must first sell players before the club can sign new ones. Noa Lang does not have a permanent starting position and has not been able to have a significant impact in the first half of the season. Regarding January, Manna said they would see what happens and that they do not rule anything out.
On a TuttoMercatoWeb program, a discussion took place about players who are underperforming and could be on the market, such as Lang. Bruno Giordano stated that if Lang leaves, it means that Napoli will no longer play with the 4-3-3 formation.
Italian media mention a possible winter transfer for Noa Lang, the 26-year-old Dutch winger. Theo Janssen, Ronald de Boer, and Wesley Sneijder speculate that Lang could leave soon. Italian sites mention a possible loan in January. It is stated that an immediate winter loan back to the Eredivisie or elsewhere is not considered possible unless the relationship is severely damaged. There is mention that a loan would only become a possibility if Conte and the club management determine the situation cannot be resolved. There is speculation about a possible return to PSV or Ajax, but it is stated that this does not account for Italian pride and the financial situation. Lang joined Napoli in July 2025 and is under contract until 2030. In 5 appearances for the 2025/2026 Serie A season, the Dutch international, who has 14 caps, has not yet scored a goal or provided an assist. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €25.00m.
