Journalist Paolo Esposito expressed his preference for Mattia Felici as a replacement for Kvicha Kvaratskhelia at Napoli. Felici, a young and interesting player from Cagliari, plays in a similar position to Kvaratskhelia. Esposito indicated that he would recommend Felici to Aurelio De Laurentiis, Napoli's president. He observed that Felici, a well-built player born in 2001, showcases skills akin to Kvaratskhelia, especially his ability to cut in on his right foot and deliver curling shots. Esposito highlighted a recent match against Milan, where only a great save by Maignan prevented Felici from scoring. Despite Felici's relative obscurity, Esposito is eager to advocate for him, stressing that not all successful players are well-known names when they first join Napoli.
