This story discusses unconfirmed interpretations. Speculation is identified clearly and should not be read as established fact.
Napoli have already released one unwanted player in attack, Walid Cheddira, to Avellino for €2.5m plus bonus. The Partenopei are now hoping to offload Lang, who spent half of last season on loan at Galatasaray. If Lang is sold, Napoli can secure a replacement more suited to coach Max Allegri's football, potentially for circa €25m.
Woltemade is the latest name on Napoli's list, although it would only be possible if Newcastle United let the German go on loan. Newcastle paid €75m to buy Woltemade from Stuttgart only a year ago, making it a significant ask for Napoli.
