Rafik Belghali has been identified as an alternative option for Napoli's right flank, as the club's primary target remains Dodò of Fiorentina. Belghali, an Algerian winger born in 2002, is expected to leave Hellas Verona following their relegation to Serie B, and his valuation is around €15 million. Napoli's progress may be slowed by the need to sell players first, potentially allowing competitors Juventus and Roma, who have also shown interest, to act if the club does not accelerate its efforts. Belghali joined Hellas Verona from Mechelen in August 2025 for a fee reported as €2 million, and his contract is valid until June 30, 2029. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, he made 26 appearances and scored 2 goals. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €7 million, and in July 2026, AS Roma reportedly submitted an offer of approximately €10 million.
