Chelsea defender Malang Sarr on Napoli’s transfer radar

Serie A side Napoli have set their sights on Chelsea defender Malang Sarr as they seek to bolster their defensive options. The 24-year-old French centre-back, who has yet to make an appearance for Chelsea this season, could find a new home at Napoli, providing a potential win-win scenario for all parties involved.

Sarr’s lack of playing time at Chelsea has fueled speculation about his future, and Napoli’s interest presents an opportunity for the talented defender to secure regular first-team action. Having spent the previous season on loan at Monaco, Sarr is no stranger to plying his trade in top European leagues.

The Blues under Mauricio Pochettino have been actively shaping the squad and Sarr’s potential departure could be aligned with the club’s strategic vision. The Argentine manager has been focused on creating a cohesive and competitive team and streamlining the squad to include players who fit his system is a crucial aspect of this process.

He looks a lot like N’Golo Kante, no?

According to La Repubblica, via Football Italia [h/t football.london], Napoli have continued to show interest in securing the services of Sarr. While he has demonstrated his abilities during loan spells, it appears that he may not be part of Pochettino’s immediate plans. A move to Napoli, where he could potentially become a key figure in their defensive setup, offers Sarr the chance to showcase his skills and continue his development at a high level.

As Napoli explores potential defensive recruits, Sarr’s versatility and previous experience in top-flight football make him an attractive option. His ability to play out from the back aligns with the modern style of play, and Napoli could benefit from his skill set as they aim for success in domestic and European competitions.

They were top-class last season, but as a new manager came in, they failed to capitalise on the momentum generated last season. Players like Sarr who is a resolute defender could help Gli Azzurri climb back up the Serie A charts.
