Allegri's Napoli continues its preparation at the Teofilo Patini stadium in Castel di Sangro and Cyril Ngonge has joined the team in retreat, while the new Third Shirt for the 2026/27 season has been unveiled, created in collaboration with EA7, renamed with the claim “All the Red of Naples”. In the year of Centenary, which coincides with the fortieth anniversary of the conquest of the first historic Scudetto in the season 1986/87, the Club has chosen to bring back an iconic shirt, capable of recalling one of the most unforgettable pages in the history of the Azzurri.
Meanwhile, the failed transfer of Jesper Lindstrom from Napoli to Schalke 04, accused of "not respecting the agreements", is gaining traction. The Azzurri club has published an official statement to clarify and precisely reconstruct the events that led to the collapse of the deal.
Napoli explains that on August 3, an exchange of correspondence took place regarding the general terms of the contract, without ever questioning the financial terms of the agreement or the payment methods. "At 1:00 PM today (August 4), the German club informed us that certain proposed clauses were unacceptable, especially given the changed technical and sporting needs resulting from the injuries to two players over the weekend, which would necessitate a change in transfer strategies. At 1:22 PM, a response was sent to the German club. While reiterating that these were minor changes to the structure of the deal, and understanding the German club's new technical needs, SSC Napoli was willing to accept the version of the contract as proposed by Schalke 04, at 5:32 PM the German club confirmed that it was no longer interested due to changed priorities in the squad development, clearly demonstrating the real reasons behind the failure to complete the deal." Napoli has reserved the right to take legal action to protect its rights.
