Napoli pushes Mazzocchi out as Cagliari show interest
Il Napoli have confirmed they are working to sell full‑back Pasquale Mazzocchi, despite his wish to remain, as the club enters the final days of the transfer window and Cagliari emerge as a potential buyer, which has limited Mazzocchi’s chances.
Negotiations with Cagliari
According to journalist Nicolò Schira, Napoli has already opened a negotiation with Cagliari in the last days of the transfer window. Cagliari has expressed interest in acquiring the full‑back. The talks are said to be progressing quickly.
The club has indicated that Mazzocchi is no longer part of its plans. Napoli’s hierarchy is actively seeking a buyer before the window closes. The decision follows a reassessment of the squad’s defensive options.
Despite the external interest, Pasquale Mazzocchi has publicly stated he would like to stay at Napoli. He wants to compete for a place in the squad. The defender hopes to prove his worth under the current coach.
The arrival of new defender Favasuli has further limited Mazzocchi’s prospects. Favasuli’s signing adds competition on the right side of defence. This development has prompted the club to accelerate its search for a transfer solution.

The report appeared in the Stampa A− A+ section of Calciomercato coverage. It highlights the club’s intent to move the player before the deadline.
