Napoli attempted to intervene in the transfer of Pablo Marì during a period of delay when Monza wanted to secure a defender before approving the transfer. However, Napoli's attempt, led by De Laurentiis, failed because Fiorentina was already advanced in the process, and Marì had committed to Palladino.

Pablo Mari is one of the key players for Monza, currently in the relegation zone. His contract is expiring, and if no renewal agreement is reached in the coming weeks, he will be free to sign with other clubs from February. Napoli is one of the top Serie A clubs interested in acquiring a defender for the second half of the season.
