Official: Torino sign Ngonge from Napoli, ready for Israel medical
Torino have officially signed Cyril Ngonge from Napoli, on loan with an option to buy, while Sporting CP goalkeeper Franco Israel arrived for his medical. The Granata announced the deal for Ngonge this evening with a statement. According to the reports, this is a paid loan for €1m with an option to make it permanent at the end of the season for a further €16-17m. It is therefore a reunion for the winger and coach Marco Baroni, as they had worked together at Hellas Verona in 2023-24. The Belgian was sold to Napoli for €20m in January 2024, but only made 21 competitive appearances for the club last season, scoring two goals. Ngonge official, Israel soon for Torino FARO, PORTUGAL – JULY 16: Franco Israel of Sporting CP during the Pre-Season Friendly match between Sporting CP and Celtic at Estadio Algarve on July 16, 2025 in Faro, Portugal.

He will undergo a medical on Friday morning, before completing the permanent transfer from Sporting CP. This deal is reported to cost €4.5-5m including add-ons, with Juventus pocketing half of that sum. This is because Israel was in the Juventus youth academy when sold to Sporting in 2022, with a 50 per cent cut of the future fee.

Napoli follow Miretti but have two other priorities
Napoli are indeed admirers of Juventus-owned midfielder Fabio Miretti, but currently have two other priorities: Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and Dan Ndoye. Napoli have been following Juventus midfielder for weeks, but currently, the Italian midfielder is not a priority target for the Partenopei. Why Miretti is not a priority for Napoli GENOA, ITALY – MARCH 14: Fabio Miretti of Genoa scores his team's first goal during the Serie A match between Genoa and Lecce at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on March 14, 2025 in Genoa, Italy. (Photo by) Sources with direct knowledge of the matter confirm to me that the current Partenopei priorities are deals for Torino goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic and Bologna winger Ndoye. The Partenopei have recently made an offer close to €40m, including add-ons, for the Swiss winger who has prioritised a move to the Stadio Maradona over Nottingham Forest. Vergara may leave Napoli if Miretti arrives CESENA, ITALY – MARCH 22: Fabio Miretti of Italy U21 gestures during the UEFA Under21 EURO Qualifier match between Italy U21 and Latvia U21 at Dino Manuzzi Stadium on March 22, 2024 in Cesena, Italy. (Photo by) Napoli will only consider an offer for Miretti in the coming days, if not weeks, and his possible move to the Stadio Maradona would cast doubt on Antonio Vergara's future. The 22-year-old has received offers from other clubs, and the defending Serie A champions will consider his future over the next few weeks. Miretti, 21, has returned to Juventus after a one-season loan spell at Genoa, where he scored three goals and provided three assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.

Napoli About to Finalize Double Deal with Torino
Napoli have captured Vanja Milinkovic-Savic from Torino, while Cyril Ngonge will go the other way around. The Partenopei were eager to sign another quality goalie to deputize and potentially challenge Alex Meret. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Azzurri won't activate the Serb's €19M release clause. Instead, they'll shell out €22.5M in exchange for a more diluted payment structure. After multiple loan spells, he's been the starter for the last four campaigns and was particularly brilliant in the past two. He has appeared 158 times with the Granata, allowing 163 goals and keeping 52 clean sheets. Milinkovic-Savic was one of the early names on the Napoli radar for the position. They haven't been really close to other goalies this summer. Instead, Ngonge is transferring on an initial loan with a €1M fee and a €18M option to buy. The Scudetto winners signed him from Verona for €20M two years ago, but he never hit his stride in Campania, where he was buried on the depth chart. He's reuniting with coach Marco Baroni. Torino have already identified their next starter between the sticks: Franco Israel from Sporting CP. They'll onboard him for €4/5M. He's a Juventus youth product and starred numerous times in their Next Gen squad before moving to Portugal. The Bianconeri will get half of the fee thanks to a resale clause. Our Take on Napoli Adding Milinkovic-Savic They were determined to bring in another reliable option, and the biggest hurdle was convincing him, but he's overqualified to be a backup, and it's debatable whether he's at the level to rival Meret, plus he has already hit his ceiling. Still, if Ngonge fares well, it'll turn out to be a delayed swap for a player they weren't using.

Napoli ready to sing Milinkovic-Savic from Torino
Napoli are close to securing the services of Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, while the Granata have prioritised the purchase of Cyril Ngonge and Gaetano Oristanio in attack. Milinkovic-Savic close to joining Napoli Serbia international Milinković-Savić is on the verge of joining Napoli from Torino. The 28-year-old has already reached a complete agreement with the Partenopei and the next meeting between Napoli and Torino will likely determine his move to the Stadio Maradona. At the same time, Napoli striker Ngonge is expected to join the Granata. The Belgian is a former striker of Marco Baroni at Hellas Verona. Torino clear priorities in attack Ngonge has been a priority target for Torino throughout the summer, alongside Venezia's Gaetano Oristanio. Torino have prioritised the signing of these two attacking wingers even if they could add a third one later during the current transfer window. At the same time, Sporting CP Franco Israel is one of the top Torino targets to replace Milinkovic-Savic, as Football Italia exclusively reported earlier this week. On the other hand, Napoli have been pretty busy in the transfer market, signing Kevin De Bruyne, Luca Marianucci, Noa Lang, Lorenzo Lucca and Sam Beukema.
