Few fixtures in Italian football carry the weight, tension, and symbolic importance of Juventus versus Napoli. It is more than a league match; it is a cultural confrontation, a battle of ideologies, and a recurring struggle for power within Serie A. As Juventus prepare to host Napoli in Turin, the narrative is unmistakable: can Juventus finally overcome Napoli’s growing dominance, or will the visitors once again assert themselves as Italy’s most progressive force? This clash arrives at a pivotal moment in the season.

For Napoli, it is an opportunity to reinforce a psychological edge built through confidence, cohesion, and modern tactical superiority. The stakes could hardly be higher.

Victor Osimhen is becoming more likely to accept a recent €160 million contract offer from Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli, which still needs to negotiate an appropriate compensation with Napoli.

This is much lower, about 50% less than the €130 million release clause included into Osimhen's contract when he renegotiated his term with Napoli last year.
Al-Ahli, who dispatched representatives to Italy this week with the goal of finalizing a deal, is likewise aiming to reach an agreement sooner rather than later. The Serie A transfer market closes later this week, but the Saudi window remains open until October 6.

Chelsea has also expressed interest in Osimhen in the past week. Enzo Maresca's team was willing to offer the Nigerian about €10 million each season in salaries, which is roughly the same as his present salary with Napoli.
