Favasuli said his goodbyes to Catanzaro over the weekend and is due at Villa Stuart on Monday for his medical, with the transfer structured as a €1 million loan plus a €6 million obligation to buy, along with a possible additional bonus.
Napoli have learned to be cautious about confirming deals before every last detail is settled, but the Favasuli move appears close to being finalised. The full-back, seen internally as competition and eventual cover for Giovanni Di Lorenzo, has emerged as one of the club's priority targets in the closing stages of the window.
On the defensive front, Benoit Badiashile continues to move closer to Naples, with Chelsea having accepted a €3 million loan fee for the Frenchman and a buyout clause set at €27 million, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
One detail still to be resolved concerns a possible extra €1 million clause tied to Napoli winning the Scudetto, though sporting director Giovanni Manna is working to have the move finalised in time for the club's trip to Marassi.
Elsewhere, Nayef Aguerd, of Marseille, remains on Napoli's radar, though Badiashile is currently viewed as the priority. The forward picture is more complex: Gabriel Jesus has attracted interest, particularly after his exclusion from Arsenal's Community Shield final squad, but a deal with the Gunners would require around €20 million for the transfer fee plus a significant €6 million salary.
Noa Lang remains for sale, though Napoli have so far resisted the idea of a loan, insisting on a fee of around €25 million. Lorenzo Lucca also continues to draw admirers in Italy, though his valuation remains heavily shaped by the €35 million Napoli paid Udinese for the striker a year ago.
With the transfer window entering its final stretch, Napoli's business over the coming days is expected to shape the finishing touches to the squad Massimiliano Allegri will have at his disposal for the start of the new campaign.
