SSC Napoli have moved their scheduled friendly against Olympiacos to 18:00 CEST on Thursday, 14 August, instead of the initially announced 20:00[1]. Fans with existing tickets can still attend, as all tickets purchased remain valid for the new time. Due to high demand for recent friendlies, Napoli have made tickets available for two additional pre-season games: Napoli vs Casertana on 4 August at 10:00, and Napoli vs Sorrento on 10 August at 10:00, both at the Stadio Teofilo Patini in Castel di Sangro[1].
During these matches, 25 seats in the Curva Nord section will be reserved for disabled fans, with access through a dedicated entrance. The club reminds supporters to follow the SSC Napoli Code of Conduct, and all ticket purchases are to be made through TicketOne, with e-tickets provided via email[1].
In the 2025 summer transfer window, Napoli have been active in the market. Notable incoming players include goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic (on loan from Torino), defender Sam Beukema (from Bologna), striker Lorenzo Lucca (on loan from Udinese), and winger Noa Lang (from PSV Eindhoven)[4][6]. Most notably, Kevin De Bruyne joined from Manchester City on a free transfer[6]. Outgoing transfers include Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who moved to PSG for €75 million during the winter window[2].
Rumor-wise, Napoli are said to be considering a move for Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa. They have also reportedly agreed personal terms with Miguel Gutierrez of Girona for a €20 million move but have yet to make a final decision. Meanwhile, midfielder Jens Cajuste is attracting interest from Neom SC in the Saudi Pro League and Ipswich Town in England[3].
After a disappointing 10th place in the Serie A 2023/24 season, the club is aiming for a rebound under the guidance of manager Antonio Conte. Midfielder Matteo Politano has expressed confidence in the squad’s ability to compete on all fronts, especially with a return to Champions League football ahead[5][3].
