Napoli have been chasing Noa Lang since the last January transfer window, when they tried to lure him away from PSV. The Eindhoven club blocked this move, director Earnest Stewart confirmed in May.
"We were at the top of the table during the winter break, and then we decided to sell one of our best players," he told NOS. "Yes, everyone said, “They're crazy.” We made a conscious decision not to do that and discussed it immediately with Noa and his agent."
According to NOS Sport, a total agreement has been reached for a permanent transfer. The 26-year-old Lang will sign a five-year deal in Naples, where he will earn €2.5 million yearly. According to Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Napoli will pay a fixed fee of €25 million, along with €4 million in bonuses.
Lang, a product of the Feyenoord and Ajax youth academies, joined PSV in 2023 from Club Brugge, who got €12 million for the Dutch winger. In two seasons with the 26-time champions, Lang scored 19 goals and provided 14 assists in 63 appearances.
