Gianluca Mancini's agent reportedly had exploratory contacts with Napoli, who are in search of a central defender following Buongiorno's injury. Discussions touched on a potential summer transfer, but Mancini, whose contract expires in 2027, could move to Campania as early as January under the right conditions. The Roma defender, previously with Atalanta, is part of a potential squad overhaul at Roma, where few players are considered untouchable, making a January move more plausible.
