Modugno warns A&minus surprise attack options as Napoli eyes three exits

Francesco Modugno told Sky Sport that Napoli could see a surprise attacking line‑up after three players depart, noting that Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne are expected to arrive this evening and that centre‑back Benoît Badiashile is being discussed on loan with an option to buy.

Modugno added that Lukaku is weighing options from Turkey to the MLS, indicating the striker’s future remains open. He said the club is monitoring these possibilities closely.

The Napoli board is also seeking a central defender, with Benoît Badiashile mentioned as a potential loan signing that includes a purchase option. Such a move would address the defensive gap highlighted by the coaching staff.
