Napoli sign Dutch international forward Lang - World
"SSC Napoli announces that it has definitively acquired the registration of the player Noa Noell Lang from PSV Eindhoven," the Serie A outfit wrote in a short statement on their website. According to Italian media, Napoli have paid 25 million euros ($29 million) for the 26-year-old who is the second high-profile player to leave PSV within the last week following Malik Tillman's move to Bayer Leverkusen. Lang came through the ranks at Ajax, before joining Belgian side Club Brugge in October 2020 on loan, later making the move permanent the following summer. In 2023, Lang signed for PSV where he would go on to make 63 appearances in all competitions, scoring 19 goals and creating 14 more. During his time with PSV he won two Eredivisie titles, in addition to the brace of Belgian league titles he collected at Brugge. Noa boasts 14 caps for the Netherlands, scoring three goals and laying on two assists for the Oranje. The addition of the diminutive winger follows on from Napoli's acquisition of Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City -- Italy's biggest transfer of the summer. Napoli are also in advanced negotiations with Udinese to sign another attacker in Italy international Lorenzo Lucca (35 million euros) and are targeting Bologna's Dutch defender Sam Beukema (30 million euros). Napoli, crowned Italian champions for the fourth time in their history last season, hope to finance these arrivals with the permanent transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray for a fee of 75 million euros.

📸 Napoli reveal 25/26 kits, tradition and city tribute 🎇
Napoli has announced the new home and away jerseys for the 2025/2026 season: both jerseys feature the tricolor Scudetto at the center of the chest. Let's take a closer look at the home and away kits. Home: tradition and innovation The Napoli home jersey for the 2025/2026 season is a reinterpretation of Neapolitan tradition. The iconic blue is enhanced by a contemporary design and precious finishes, with the tricolor Scudetto at the center of the chest, a symbol of the championship won in 2024/2025. Made of 90% polyester and 10% elastane, the jersey features an exclusive pattern that incorporates the historic "N" of Napoleon directly into the fabric texture. The V-neck, finished with a white border, is elegantly combined with the profiles of the sleeves, also white, creating a harmonious contrast that breaks the blue monochrome. The sleeves, with a fitted cut but designed to guarantee freedom of movement and comfort, make the garment performative as well as stylish. On the back, at the base of the neck, the writing "SSC Napoli" stands out, a further reference to the club's identity. The 2025/2026 home jersey combines sartorial style, sports pride, and a sense of belonging. To make the product even more exclusive, it features a hologram with a digital fingerprint applied to the bottom of the garment. Away: a tribute to Naples The Napoli "Sand" away jersey is a contemporary tribute to the city's identity. At the center of the chest, the tricolor Scudetto stands out, and this jersey tells the story of Naples through its most important symbols. Pulcinella's mask expresses the ingenuity, irony, and ability to face life with lightness, distinctive elements of the Neapolitan spirit. The Sacred Heart, an emblem of popular religious devotion, reflects the faith, gratitude, and need for protection felt by the community. The Monaciello, a legendary figure from popular tales, recalls the beliefs related to the spirits that inhabit the hidden places of the city. The head of garlic, traditionally a symbol of protection and well-being, is a reference to the ancient popular wisdom against negative influences. The horn-shaped good luck charm, linked to the scaramantic tradition, embodies the wish for good fortune and protection against the evil eye. The Artichoke Fountain is a representation of daily life, rebirth, and the city's resistance. San Gennaro, patron and protector, is the symbol of the collective cohesion and resilience of the Neapolitan people. The Ace of Clubs, taken from the tradition of Neapolitan cards, symbolizes power and virility. The eyes, a recurring graphic element, recall the concept of vigilance and attention towards the city and its citizens. The white and black marble floor, inspired by the decorations of Neapolitan monumental churches, adds a architectural and visual dimension, evoking the sacred interiors through a three-dimensional effect. The writing "Proud to be Napoli" on the back of the neck seals the meaning of the jersey: not just a technical garment designed for performance, but a true visual narrative of Neapolitan culture. Finally, each jersey features a hologram with a digital fingerprint applied to the bottom, making it a distinctive and unmistakable piece.

Napoli make contact over Atubolu move
SC Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu is being linked with a move to SSC Napoli. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Italian champions have made contact with the 23-year-old's representatives.

False image shows Inter Milan supporting Palestine with flag
An image going around online alleges that Italian football team Inter Milan has been waving the Palestinian flag ahead of its matches in solidarity with the people of Palestine. The photo shows children walking past the squad, giving the players on the field a high five while brandishing the flag. The posts on X containing the photo have captions such as "Inter Milan shows solidarity with Palestine before their game" and "Free Palestine", clearly framing it as having been recently taken. Ultimately, however, the image and its captions are misleading because the picture has been cropped. A reverse image search leads us to the original, posted on Getty Images, which dates back to 23 September 2009. This means it was taken well over a decade before the attacks which sparked the Israel-Hamas war on 7 October 2023, but still during the wider Israel-Palestine conflict, which has been going on for much longer. The Getty Images publication also shows that the photo shared online has been cropped. The original image shows both Israeli and Palestinian children from an Inter Milan camp, waving their respective flags and giving high-fives to players before a Serie A match against SSC Napoli. A further online search reveals that this scene was part of an Inter Campus event, where children from Inter camps all over the world spent a week in Italy "for a week of sport, education and fun", culminating in a lap of honour by each delegation before the Inter-Napoli match. The photo resurfaced again in 2015, attached to an article reporting on a proposal by former FIFA president Sepp Blatter to host a "peace match" between Israel and Palestine. The match ultimately did not take place. The reverse image search also shows us that this isn't the first time that the cropped image has been shared in this misleading way. It has appeared every few months since the 7 October attacks.

Napoli reach agreement with Marseille target Noa Lang
According to a report from Gianluca Di Marzio, SSC Napoli have reached an agreement with Olympique de Marseille target Noa Lang (26). The Italian club has reportedly reached personal terms with the winger and has made fresh contact with PSV over a transfer. Di Marzio writes that the transfer should be around €28 million for the Dutch international, not including add-ons or bonuses. However, he is not the only player that Napoli have been looking at, with the club also interested in Jadon Sancho, Dan Ndoye, and Federico Chiesa. Advertisement Lang has been a target for Marseille, with the Ligue 1 side looking to bolster their attacking options following the departure of Luis Henrique to Internazionale Milan. The player had also appeared to reciprocate their interest when he was caught on camera saying 'Allez l'OM' to a fan asking him to come to the southern side. Marseille's search for a new winger has yet to bear fruit, with the club also pulling out of negotiations for Roony Bardghji (19) over fitness concerns. The Swedish youth international now looks set to join FC Barcelona. GFFN | Nick Hartland
