Napoli are challenging Arsenal as the most active team in the transfer market this week as the Italian side are set to complete a host of big-money deals.
Indeed, if all goes to plan, Napoli could officially announce €175 million worth of deals over the next days.
Who are Napoli signing this week?
The second signing this week will be another Dutch player in the form of Bologna centre back Sam Beukema.
Beukema will arrive for a transfer fee of €30m plus €3m in add-ons.
The defender will have his medical on Wednesday before officially signing his contract as a Napoli player.
The third big signing of the week for Napoli will be Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca.
The Italian champions have agreed a €9m loan fee with a €26m obligation to buy clause plus €5m in add-ons. The total cost of the transfer is €40m.
Napoli moved for Lucca after pulling out of negotiations to sign Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez.
Lucca has agreed a six year contract with Napoli and the transfer is expected to be official by the end of the week.
In addition to €103m worth of signings this week, Napoli are also closing in on the big-money sale of Victor Osimhen.
Napoli and Galatasaray have agreed on the final figure of a €75m transfer fee for the Nigerian.
But the two clubs are still negotiating on the structure of the payments, as well as the presence of a sell-on clause that Galatasaray are refusing to include.
Nevertheless, this is a transfer that is expected to go through sooner rather than later.
These four deals amount to a whopping €178m worth of transfers as Napoli become the undoubted kings of the transfer market in Italy this summer.
Napoli have already signed Kevin de Bruyne on a free transfer from Man City and Luca Marianucci from Empoli for €9m as Antonio Conte builds a formidable side following last season’s Scudetto win.
