Napoli’s initial offer of approximately €15 million for Genoa’s full-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy has been turned down, as interest in the former Arsenal academy player intensifies. Genoa is reportedly seeking €20 million for the key player in Daniele De Rossi’s squad.
Napoli is not the only club interested in Norton-Cuffy, with Fiorentina and Inter also monitoring the England youth international. Inter is looking for a replacement for Denzel Dumfries on the right wing, while Napoli needs a full-back to cover for Giovanni Di Lorenzo, especially with Pasquale Mazzocchi expected to leave.
Sporting director Giovanni Manna is considering various options, including Anan Khalaili of Union Saint-Gilloise and Dodô from Fiorentina. The overlapping interest from multiple clubs highlights Norton-Cuffy’s value.
Napoli’s transfer activity this summer is proceeding at a slower pace compared to last year, a situation attributed partly to the ongoing World Cup which has impacted the broader transfer market.
