Napoli Pursues Hojlund, Dovbyk Amid Lukaku Injury

Napoli is actively pursuing the signings of Eljif Elmas from RB Leipzig and Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United, focusing on finalizing deals before the summer transfer window closes. The club prefers a loan deal with an obligation to buy for Hojlund and is confident in Elmas's versatility to cover multiple midfield roles, which has led them to pause interest in Sevilla's Juanlu Sanchez. Napoli is also monitoring Artem Dovbyk from Roma as a backup option to replace the injured Romelu Lukaku, who is sidelined for up to four months, but Dovbyk remains a secondary target behind Hojlund. Juventus is reluctant to sell defender Lloyd Kelly despite interest from Crystal Palace, while AC Milan is set to miss out on Sporting's Conrad Harder, who is close to joining Rennes. Inter Milan showed some interest in İlkay Gündoğan, who was offered to various Serie A clubs but has not moved yet. Napoli's pursuit of Hojlund gains urgency due to Lukaku's injury, increasing the Danish forward's chances to contribute immediately to the Serie A champions.
