The international break has arrived at a difficult moment for Napoli, with the club sitting 10th in Serie A on 15 points after 11 games and uncertainty growing both on and off the pitch. The most pressing issue is the future of Kevin De Bruyne, whose contract runs until June 2027. PSV Eindhoven have made their interest clear, with reports from the Eindhovens Dagblad confirming contact at the highest level and genuine hope of securing the Belgian's signature in January. Napoli's position is that De Bruyne is not for sale, and Allegri values him highly, but the player's dissatisfaction with a deeper midfield role and his public falling-out with Lorenzo Lucca during the Champions League defeat to Porto have complicated matters. The club's sporting director Giovanni Manna has acknowledged that January will be an active window in both directions, with Lucca himself likely to leave and names like Monza's Gustavo Varela, the division's top scorer with nine goals, emerging as potential targets. On the pitch, Napoli drew 1-1 with league leaders Lazio at the Maradona in their last outing, a result that did little to ease the pressure on Allegri despite a strong second-half display. Noa Lang's gesture toward the home fans added another unwanted headline to a week already defined by friction. Napoli return to action on 21 November, hosting Torino in a match they will need to win to arrest their slide down the table.
