Napoli keep on having extremely good performances, but they remain extremely active on the transfer market ; according to the Corriere dello Sport, in fact, the azzurri’s Sports Director Riccardo Bigon, has at least five names on his shortlist for the next transfer window: Atalanta 20 year old defender Alberto Almici and 21 year old midfielder Daniele Baselli, Zenit St. Petersburg 27 year old left back Cristian Ansaldi, Barcelona 29 year old midfielder Javier Mascherano and Liverpool 28 year old center back Martin Skrtel. To accomplish his task, Bigon could count on an important collaborator : as reported by napolitv, in fact, the former Paris Saint-Germain Sports Director Leonardo has arrived this morning in Naples and, despite being already in talks in Inter Milan, could become the azzurri’s new General Manager.  On the other hand, Napoli will have to be extremely attentive regarding the situation of their goalkeeper Pepe Reina : the 31 year old, in fact, actually on loan from Liverpool remains a target for Barcelona who are still seeking the substitute of same-aged Victor Valdés, who is intented to leave the blaugrana at the end of the season.

Despite many transfer rumours, 29 year old forward Robinho has remained at AC Milan, but in this first part of the season the Brazil international has not had many chances to start ; now, because of Balotelli’s dismissal, the former Real Madrid player will have an important chance, but a transfer to Santos remains a concrete option.
