Empoli defender Luca Marianucci will undergo medical tests with Napoli within the next two days, sources tell Football Italia.
Italian defender Marianucci, 20, is set to undergo medical tests with Serie A champions Napoli.
When Marianucci will undergo Napoli medical
Sources tell Football Italia that the Tuscan centre-back will have medical examinations with the Partenopei within 48 hours.
Napoli will pay €9m to secure his services from Empoli, who were relegated to Serie B in the 2024-25 season.
Marianucci made his Serie A debut under Roberto D’Aversa this season and collected 24 appearances across all competitions with Empoli, providing two assists.
More Napoli defensive targets
Napoli are planning to bring in more defensive reinforcements for the 2025-26 season and have targeted Bologna’s Sam Beukema.
The Partenopei have also opened talks for Bologna star winger Dan Ndoye, but they are also interested in Federico Chiesa and Mattia Zaccagni as they aim to sign two wingers in the 2025 summer transfer window.
Napoli won the Serie A title in 2024-25 and convinced Antonio Conte to remain at the helm for the next season.
