Because of Napoli's Success, Will the Team Be Dismantled in the Summer?

Although the title has not yet been decided, S.S.C. Napoli have almost certainly won the current 2022/23 Serie A campaign. It will be the first time they have won the league since the 1989/90 season and only the third time in the club's history.

Because of Napoli's success this year, will the team be dismantled by other clubs swoopping in and buying their best players? Take a closer look right here.

Will Napoli lose some of their best players before the start of the 2023/24 season?

There has been a lot of interest from several major European clubs regarding some of Napoli's best-performing players this year. They have a fairly huge depth in their squad, so selling one or two big-named players wouldn't do them too much harm.

However, if they allow many good players to go by letting other top-flight European clubs pick them off one-by-one, it could be a huge mistake for Napoli or Gli Azzurri/I Ciucciarelli (The Blues/The Little Donkeys), as their more affectionately known by their fans.

Which players could leave Napoli at the end of this season?

There has been a lot of speculation as to who might leave Napoli during the upcoming summer transfer window, and one of the names that has been mentioned on a number of occasions is Victor Osimhen (forward).

Rumours surrounding Piotr Zieliński (midfielder), Kim Min-Jae (centre-back), Hirving Lozano (winger), and several other players leaving Napoli after the season has finished in mega-money deals have also been rampant.

Where would Victor Osimhen go?

To better understand which football club Victor Osimhen might join next, the best thing to do would be to check the latest odds. If you want the latest odds for Serie A, the Premier League, or any other top-flight football league from around the world, then arguably one of the most trusted sites you can turn to is the official 32red betting website.

The odds-on favourite team to land Victor Osimhen in the upcoming January transfer window is Chelsea, according to the latest odds from various websites. For him to join this English Premier League side, you are currently looking at average odds of around 7/2 in the UK fractional odds format.

This means that there is a 22.20% chance (implied probability rate) of him joining Chelsea if he leaves Napoli. In American/moneyline and European decimal odds, 7/2 is the equivalent of 350 and 4.50, respectively.

Therefore, if a $/€/£30.00 bet was placed right now with these odds, and Osimhen does join Chelsea, the total returns from this bet would work out to $/€/£135.00. It would include a profit of $/€/£105.00 plus the initial $/€/£30.00 stake returned.

Where else could Osimhen go?

Some of the other European clubs he has also been linked with are the following:

• Manchester United – 9/2 (which is 5.5 or 450 with an 18.20% implied probability rate)
• Bayern Munich – 8/1 (9.00 or 800 with an 11.10% implied probability rate)
• Newcastle United – 16/1 (17.00 or 1,600 with a 5.90% implied probability rate)
• Real Madrid – 16/1 (17.00 or 1,600 with a 5.90% implied probability rate)
• Arsenal – 20/1 (21.00 or 2,000 with a 4.80% implied probability rate)
• Barcelona – 20/1 (21.00 or 2,000 with a 4.80% implied probability rate)
• Manchester City – 25/1 (26.00 or 2,500 with a 3.80% implied probability rate)

Upcoming fixtures

Napoli crashed out of the UEFA Champions League after a defeat to Serie A rivals A.C Milan in the second leg of the quarter-finals), meaning they have no more European fixtures to play. However, they do still have eight more Serie A games remaining before the end of the 2022/23 campaign.

Their upcoming fixtures include Juventus (away), Salernitana (home), Udinese (away), and Fiorentina (home). They also still have to play Monza (away), Inter (home), Bologna (away), and then Sampdoria (home) in the final game of the season.
