Fedele Tells Atalanta to Sell Lookman as Napoli Show Interest
Former Italian sporting director Enrico Fedele has advised Atalanta to cash in on Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman before the summer transfer window closes. Fedele believes Lookman is not far off in quality compared to Paris Saint-Germain star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, adding that the Super Eagles forward would be a strong replacement for the Georgian at Napoli.
Lookman has been linked with potential moves to both Napoli and Arsenal, with speculation about his future growing. Kvaratskhelia, who previously played for Napoli, sealed a big-money transfer to PSG in January 2025, leaving the Italian side in need of attacking reinforcements.
Speaking during an interview with Radio Marte, Fedele said Lookman is ready for the next step and urged Atalanta to take advantage of the situation. “Would Lookman raise the level? Absolutely,” Fedele said. “His contract might not have many years left, but his value is still high. Atalanta should sell him.
“He’s a player close to Kvara’s quality, and certain conditions could work in Napoli’s favour,” he added. Lookman joined Atalanta in 2022 and has been impressive for the Serie A side since his arrival.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
