Brazilian winger David Neres has arrived in Italy after flying in from Lisbon, marking a significant transfer as Napoli secures his services from Benfica for a hefty total of €28 million. This investment provides manager Antonio Conte with a crucial reinforcement as the team prepares for their upcoming home match against Bologna, especially as they await the return of Romelu Lukaku.
Neres landed at Fiumicino Airport and is scheduled to undergo medical examinations tomorrow at Villa Stuart in Rome. Once the medical checks are complete, he will head straight to Castel Volturno to sign his contract and will be available for selection by Conte.
The plan for Neres is to play behind the striker, who could be either Giacomo Raspadori or the returning Lukaku, alongside the talented Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. This strategic addition emphasizes Napoli’s ambition as they look to strengthen their squad for the season ahead.
