Napoli likely showed enough in the Lazio match for Massimiliano Allegri to stick around and are preparing for an eventful January. While the focus will be on shoring up the squad, there could be some big departures, for instance, Frank Anguissa and Noa Lang, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs (via Calciomercato).

The former might have reached the end of the line. His contract expires at the end of the season. His rich requests, both salary- and length-wise, are sizeable. The club will carefully consider any offers for him.

Amir Rrahmani’s future could also be a topic of conversation if other sides targeted him, given his age. He’s potentially tied to Napoli for longer than his teammate because of a team option.

Lang has been playing regularly because of Alisson Santos and David Neres’ injuries. However, he’s been boom-or-bust and blatantly bickered with the crowd during the Lazio clash, even though he contributed to the equalizer. According to Corriere dello Sport, the incident may have stemmed from a misunderstanding. The winger initially invited the fans to cheer louder, but he was clearly told to leave after the match. The same goes for Lorenzo Lucca, who was heavily booed from the get-go.

Our Take on Napoli, Anguissa, and Lang

It’s been a while since the former has been an impact player, mostly because of his injuries, and the relationship appears to have run its course. They’d be lucky to get a decent bid for him in January, given his contractual situation. The speedster has been decent, but he’s inconsistent and a bit of a hothead, which isn’t a great combination. Massimiliano Allegri has wrangled him just fine, but they probably had higher expectations when they spent €25M on him.
