The situation has been strained since Lang's earlier incidents, including walking off the pitch against FC Porto and making a gesture towards the Curva A during a match against Lazio. Napoli supporters have not forgiven him for these actions. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Lang may be forced to leave Napoli this winter due to his behavior.
Ajax, PSV, Galatasaray, Atalanta, and Genoa are mentioned as potential clubs interested in signing Lang. Napoli is reportedly willing to accept a transfer fee between €15-20 million, significantly lower than the €25 million plus bonuses they paid for him in the summer of 2025.
