Italian international Pasquale Mazzocchi is getting closer to leaving Napoli, and his departure is considered almost certain. This is not the player's preference, according to Corriere dello Sport, and the 31-year-old right-back is reportedly not convinced about leaving. This situation is a complete change from a short time ago, when a contract renewal was under discussion. The potential transfer is influenced by Costantino Favasuli's arrival and the lack of an agreement on a new contract. Mazzocchi's current deal expires in 2027. Lecce, Cagliari, Sassuolo, Frosinone, and Verona are other clubs that have recently made inquiries about a potential transfer. Mazzocchi has one cap for Italy and joined Napoli from Salernitana in January 2024 for a reported fee of €3.0 million. According to reports from July 2025, Napoli set an asking price of €3 million. His current market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
