In search of new elements to enrich its roster ahead of the 2024/25 season, Napoli is concentrating its energies on getting to Heorhiy Sudakov, a 2002-born midfielder with Shakhtar and permanently on the Ukrainian national team’s roster. The Azzurri management must, however, deal with growing competition, which could complicate the negotiations.

Other major companies in Italy and Europe have, however, entered the race to secure his services, hinting at the possibility of an upward auction, advantageous for Shakhtar Donetsk.

Within the borders of the Bel Paese, there's Juventus monitoring the situation, while in the rest of Europe, the Ukrainian talent is interested by the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern. Despite growing competition, Napoli is nevertheless studying its next move to try to secure what insiders è consider, in terms of role and ability, the heir to Piotr Zielinski.
