Naples, June 11, 2025 - After Luca Marianucci and before Kevin de bruyne, whose good day should be Thursday June 12: Napoli, waiting for the official announcement of the now almost ex-defender of theEmpoli, who underwent medical tests yesterday, and before giving himself the Belgian champion, he made the move yunus musah.

The details of the Musah affair

The deal was almost a lightning-fast one and is one step away from closing for a figure between 22 e 25 million, to the delight of all. First of all, Milan, which resells a player taken from the club at a higher price 2023 from Valencia for 20 million after a tug of war that lasted practically the entire summer. And to the delight of the Napoli, which gives to Antonio Conte the desired prop for the midfield perhaps since last winter, when the first rumours of interest in the American date back. For the latter, the two years in red and black were full of ups and downs: good with Stefano Pioli but definitely worse in the troubled season behind him, the one with him on the bench first Paulo Fonseca and then Sergio Conceicao, who replaced him twice during the first half amidst general boos. musah, despite his young age, had the broad shoulders to be the scapegoat for many common household ills Milan which would also have repercussions on his adventure in National. The 2002-born player, in fact, asked and obtained not to be called up for this round for what have officially been defined as 'personal reasons'. Therefore, no friendly with the Switzerland and nothing Gold Cup for a player who Tale will have to be good at finding himself first mentally and then physically. In this regard, the summer break and the holidays are certainly a good time to sweep away the waste of a complicated season on a personal and team level. The rest, starting from the retreat of Dimaro, he will have to do it right Tale, which imagines musah as the fresh blood that will be needed during a season with four competitions at stake. In the plans of the Neapolitan club, the American should replace Philip Billing, which as expected will not be redeemed by the Bournemouth despite that precious goal scored atInter at the end which, with hindsight, would have had a huge weight in the championship race of both rivals. This is for the Napoli it is already the past: a beautiful, very beautiful past but one that we must not let ourselves be influenced by on an emotional level in order to try to shape an even more competitive team on all fronts, which is essentially the reason for the permanence of Tale. A challenge for him, often accused by critics of failing at an international level, but above all a challenge for the Napoli and for Aurelio De Laurentiis, who has been dreaming of exponential growth for his creation since well before the arrival of the Salento coach on the bench.

The technical characteristics of Musah

It is unlikely that the man of the turning point, with all due respect, could be musah, but a strong team is built starting first from the supporting players and then from the holders, who in this case are none other than the protagonists of the recent success. The name of has also ended up on the roll of honor Billing, more kilos and centimetres than musah, but definitely less dynamism. The American can play right centre-back, his natural foot, or pure midfielder, not skimping on forays into the three-quarter line either. Goals are within the reach of the 2002 class, who Valencia he made them 5, but the box in his two-year term at Milan remained at zero despite 5 assists: another point he will have to work on Tale, whose fortunes this season have started right from the blue midfield. Speaking only of the starters, Stanislav Lobotka the golden days of the previous championship have returned, with 2 assists overall on the report, and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa scored 6 times higher and served 5 winning passes. Then there is the one who deserves a separate chapter: Scott McTominay, elected MVP of the entire Serie A, found it well 13 goals and served 6 assists. Numbers and roles that seem to push musah towards the bench even before wearing the blue, but there are two distinctions to be made. We start from the growing importance of the reserves in a season to be lived on all four fronts, trying not to leave anything on the road, while avoiding the risk (well known to theInter) to arrive in spring with the tank in reserve. We arrive at the market situation that concerns Anguissa, tempted by the Arabian sirens and still in the thought process on the possibility that his cycle in blue is over. In this case, of course, the natural replacement for the Cameroonian Napoli he would have it ready already: exactly musah, who would collect a very heavy legacy but having a still young age on his side, another significant point of the summer of the Azzurri. Players made and finished as he wants them Tale, yes, but also the attempt to try to lower the average age a little: the sports director John Manna will try to balance the two ingredients, and start from elements such as Marianucci e musah, young but already with some experience in Serie A, seems like the right move. Waiting, of course, De Bruyne, the player who par excellence will go beyond the economic and age parameters of De Laurentiis, from the De Laurentiis of the past, one might say. Having ironed out the last details regarding image rights, the right day for the medical visits should be tomorrow for a player who in the meantime, in National, has already warmed up the engines showing the usual excellent harmony with Romelu Lukaku, another one that a summer ago seemed like a decidedly unsavory investment ADL. The field and history would have proved the owner right, Tale and their shared choices despite those who spoke of a less than excellent feeling between the two: there was certainly some friction in January, a session that was not exactly a happy one for the Napoli, in which however the seeds for the business were sown musah, today one step away from closing.
