​Napoli Secure Permanent Deal for Rising Talent Alisson Santos After Impressive Loan Spell

Napoli have officially completed the permanent signing of Alisson Santos following his successful loan spell from Sporting CP. The club confirmed the transfer with a fee reported to be around €20 million, turning his temporary stay into a long-term commitment in Naples.
Santos initially arrived at Napoli in February 2026 on loan and quickly adapted to Italian football. His performances across various competitions showed steady development, highlighted by his ability to contribute goals and create attacking threats from the wing.
During his loan period, the 23-year-old Brazilian recorded four goals in 15 appearances, earning praise for his impact and consistency. His progress convinced Napoli to activate the purchase option and secure his services permanently.
The deal reflects Napoli’s continued effort to strengthen their squad for the future, with Santos viewed as an important piece in their attacking setup. His versatility and youthful energy are expected to play a significant role in the club’s plans moving forward.
Alongside this transfer, Napoli have also been active in reshaping their squad and management structure, including completing a permanent move for Rasmus Højlund after his loan spell. The club has also undergone a major coaching change, with Antonio Conte departing and Massimiliano Allegri expected to take charge as Napoli prepare for a new era.
