Napoli have been active in the summer transfer market under coach Antonio Conte, making significant changes ahead of the 2025/26 season[2].

Champions League draw: Napoli will start their 2025-26 Champions League campaign away at Manchester City, marking a return for their major summer signing, Kevin De Bruyne, to his former club after ten years at City. The group stage will end away at Chelsea, reuniting Conte with Enzo Maresca, his former teammate[1][3][5].

Major Signings: Napoli have brought in several high-profile players this window. Kevin De Bruyne stands out as the headline arrival, joining from Manchester City. Noa Lang has come in from PSV Eindhoven for around €25 million as a replacement for the departed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Other significant additions include striker Lorenzo Lucca (on loan from Udinese with obligation to buy), defender Sam Beukema from Bologna for €31 million, and goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic on loan from Torino[2].

Key Departures: Victor Osimhen left Napoli for Galatasaray, resulting in one of the club’s most lucrative sales at €75 million. Brazilian defender Natan joined Real Betis, goalkeeper Elia Caprile moved to Cagliari, and several players—including Jesper Lindstrom, Rafa Marin, Cyril Ngonge, and Michael Folorunsho—departed on loans or permanent transfers[2].

Rasmus Hojlund transfer: Napoli have agreed a loan deal with Manchester United for striker Rasmus Hojlund. The agreement involves an initial loan fee with a mandatory purchase clause worth a reported €44 million, triggered if Napoli qualify for the next Champions League. Hojlund’s arrival is seen as a crucial reinforcement following Romelu Lukaku’s recent injury, which is expected to keep the Belgian out until at least November. Hojlund will undergo his medical in Naples imminently, and the deal awaits only the player’s final approval[1][4][5][6][8].

Other club news: Napoli and EA7 have launched a new pre-match kit collection for the 2025/26 season, which will debut on August 30[7].
