Napoli baulk at the price for Amine Gouiri
Olympique de Marseille wanted more than $55.2M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Napoli turn down Hertha BSC for Rasmus Højlund
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Door shut on Jesús Rodríguez
Napoli asked and Como said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
André-Franck Zambo Anguissa scores twice — 8.37
Two goals and a mark of 8.37 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Dinis Rodrigues says no to UTA Arad
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Dinis Rodrigues had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Napoli see off Fiorentina
Three points for Napoli, 2‑0 the final word against Fiorentina in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Massimo Martinelli steps up from the Napoli academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Massimo Martinelli has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
