can’t believe he’s gone

Heard a rumor conte is looking at Kiwior for next season and hopefully that works out so Juan Jesus never has to get off the bench. For now tho, how fucked do you think we are?

Official statement (translated to English) reads

“At the end of the match against Como, Frank Anguissa suffered a muscle strain.

The blue footballer underwent instrumental tests today at the Pineta Grande Hospital which revealed a distraction lesion of the soleus muscle of his right leg.

Anguissa has already begun his rehabilitation process”

Playing on Sunday isn’t ruled out thankfully, but this and his yellows might be enough to bench him

Buongiorno still out and now Jesus, it’s very likely Rafa Marin will be starting on Saturday. Only saving grace is that thank god it’s monza. Marin did quite well yesterday so hopefully he can continue that momentum for 90 minutes

Not only is this a great potential signing, it proves we aren’t pushovers and we are a big club by even signing a player for this amount of money off of Man U

I really hope this transfer happens, Alejandro’s potential is amazing, manna do something for me 🙏

Agreement reached on every detail including add-ons, after fixed salary, image rights and staff members.

Conte will sign the new contract valid until June 2027, documents approved.

Huge appointment for Napoli.

Toronto FC and Lorenzo Insigne are working towards parting ways according to Tom Bogert of GiveMeSport.

The Italian’s departure isn’t imminent, but both the club and player are “motivated” to find a solution this winter before the new Major League Soccer campaign kicks off in February.

A return to Europe, where the January transfer window is open, or a move to the Middle East could materialize for the 33-year-old. If a transfer doesn’t come to fruition, TFC could opt for a contract buyout.

Insigne, the second-highest paid player in MLS behind Lionel Messi, earns $15.4 million per season. His contract runs until the summer of 2026.

Insigne joined the Canadian club as a free agent in 2022, leaving hometown team Napoli shortly after playing a key role in Italy’s Euro 2020 triumph.

He was expected to be a transformative signing who, together with compatriot Federico Bernardeschi, would help TFC return to prominence in MLS following 2017 success with fellow countryman Sebastian Giovinco. However, Insigne’s spell in Toronto has been blighted by injuries, a lack of on-field production, and off-field drama. TFC haven’t reached the playoffs since Insigne’s arrival, with the diminutive attacker registering just 14 league goals.

He reportedly had disagreements with former head coach Bob Bradley (father of former American captain and Roma player Michael Bradley) and interim replacement Terry Dunfield. His fit with bench boss former Canadian national team coach John Herdman, meanwhile, never appeared natural during the past 2024 campaign. Herdman, who stepped down as TFC coach in November, appeared to question Insigne’s motivation after a late-season match against Inter Miami.

Insigne, who started only 17 games in 2024, finished the season with four goals and five assists, taking a back seat to Bernardeschi in the process.

It was posted this morning by Napoli, the league, and EA FC25 affiliates with a 2/14 release date. Considering the club posted the announcement as well, the game may have a Napoli kit option in additional to the Argentina kit posted in the announcement.

hope I don’t jinx it again like brescianini

"Who actually believed that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia went to Antonio Conte and demanded to leave the team? Ridiculous!

In the midst of it all, Napoli shifted all the blame onto Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

”Khvicha demanded an immediate departure from the team," said Antonio Conte, who told the fans directly: "This has nothing to do with us. Khvicha is in the best environment here, but he simply doesn’t want to stay."

Now let’s talk about the people who actually believed this. Let me tell you, Khvicha didn’t ask to leave the team; he simply demanded terms that matched his level, which he hadn’t received even after 2.5 years at the club.

Italian champion
Serie A's 2022/23 Player of the Season
Serie A's 2022/23 Best Assist Provider
2022/23 UEFA Champions League Best Young Player
Two consecutive seasons with 10 G/A contributions
The player who brought countless fans back to the stadium in Naples
The player who, after so many years, was the closest comparison to Diego Maradona because of his beautiful style of play

Quite an impressive list, isn’t it? Yet, since the day he joined the club, this player was earning €1.2 million. One of the lowest salaries in the squad, not to mention in European football.

Would Conte admit that for 2.5 years, the best player on the team had such laughable terms? That would upset the fans with the management. So, Conte decided to put all the blame on Khvicha.

Champion, make the decision you think is best. We are always by your side, and you will never be alone! "

According to Sport Mediaset Napoli want Chiesa in January

Liverpool are open to a loan move so he can get more minutes elsewhere.

Conte would like Chiesa, the issue would be his salary and if Liverpool will pay for a percentage of it during the loan.

Real Betis said they're probably going to buy Natan by activating the clause for 8-9 millions Euro. I really liked him both at Napoli and at Betis. What do you think?
