With three consecutive victories against Girona, Sorrento, and Olympiacos, Italian champions Napoli concluded their preseason training and are preparing to defend their Serie A title, which they secured on the final day of the 2024/2025 season, snatching it from Inter.
While Napoli also won the 2022/2023 season, the following season was a poor one, with Inter winning while they finished tenth in the table. Now, having reclaimed the Scudetto, they won't want to suffer the same fate, and, to ensure another season of title contention, they made one of the most epic signings of the transfer market: they signed Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City.
Not only did the Belgian arrive, but he will be joined in midfield by another new acquisition, Sam Beukema, and they strengthened their attack by bringing in Lucca.
Sassuolo will be Napoli's opponent on Matchday 1; The champions will visit the newly promoted team in Reggio Emilia. The newly promoted team had an unbeaten preseason.
