Lang ready for Napoli return as Galatasaray don’t want permanent move
Napoli will have to find a new club for Noa Lang after transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano reported Galatasaray will not activate their €30m option to buy.
The Netherlands international was purchased from PSV Eindhoven last summer at a cost of €25m plus bonuses and a 10 per cent cut of the future sale fee.

With one goal and two assists in 27 competitive appearances for Napoli, only nine in the starting XI, it was decided to part ways with him after just six months.
He struggled to gel with his teammates and Serie A football, but above all clashed with coach Antonio Conte, repeatedly criticising him in the media since the January loan to Galatasaray.

It was hoped that the Turkish club would take Lang off their hands permanently by using the €30m buy option, having already paid €2m for the six-month loan.
His situation has not improved much there either, so with two goals and two assists in 17 games, transfer pundit Romano reports that Galatasaray will sent Lang back to Italy.
Curiously, both those goals were in the Champions League play-offs against Juventus on February 17.
There is very little chance of Napoli keeping him, especially if Conte remains, so they are looking for either a quick sale or another loan with option to buy that won’t make him a net financial loss.
