Napoli are considering a move for Shakhtar Donetsk’s Brazilian winger Kevin this summer (h/t journalist Gianluca Di Marzio).

The Partenopei are planning to invest in a new attacker, with Giacomo Raspadori linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.

The Italian striker is not among manager Antonio Conte’s first-choice options and will be pushed further down the pecking order with the arrivals of Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca.

Atletico are looking to spend up to €25 million for the former Sassuolo man, while Napoli are holding out for €30 million.

After their top target Dan Ndoye joined Nottingham Forest, the Scudetto winners have shifted their attention towards Kevin.

The 22-year-old’s excellent performances for the Ukrainian giants have drawn the attention of top clubs, including Fulham.

The Cottagers have submitted a €40 million bid for the Brazilian prodigy, but only to be turned down by Shakhtar, who are demanding a significant transfer fee.

Having sold Victor Osimhen permanently to Shakhtar Donetsk and with Raspadori’s potential departure, Napoli can afford Kevin’s price tag.

Despite investing around €30 million in Lang, Conte still wants to add more depth to the left-wing position.

Kevin bagged nine goals and four assists in all competitions last season, including the strike against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

He recently scored three goals across the two legs against Besiktas in the 2025/26 Europa League qualifiers, helping Shakhtar reach the third round.

The Partenopei will face tough competition from Fulham for Kevin’s signing, but they will have the leverage due to the Champions League and an opportunity to win more silverware.
