The possibility of Japanese national team goalkeeper Suzuki Zaion (23, Pharma) going to Naples has been raised, drawing attention.

Fabrizio Romano, who reported the news of the European transfer, said on his SNS on the 4th (Korea time), `It is not clear whether Napoli will move to recruit Turin goalkeeper Vanya Milinkovic-Savic. The two sides contacted each other last week, but it remains to be seen whether it will definitely continue to the contract, 'Napoli is also considering Parma goalkeeper Suzuki as a replacement. A surprise might happen.

Suzuki, who moved to Parma from Sintrawidan in Belgium last year, had a successful season in Serie A. He ranked No. 1 in aerial ball catches and contributed to the team's stay with seven clean sheets.




Suzuki's performance attracted Manchester United's attention. Manchester United, which had been looking for a replacement due to Andre Onana's sluggish performance, had shown interest in recruiting Suzuki. However, while Parma is expected to call a significant transfer fee, no specific movement of Manchester United was observed.

In the midst of this, Napoli has stepped up its sleeves to recruit Suzuki. Napoli, who won the 2024-2025 Serie A championship, are stepping up efforts to strengthen their power ahead of the new season. Recently, it has been reported that Lee Kang-in, a member of Paris Saint-Germain, has made a proposal to recruit Lee Kang-in, drawing attention from domestic fans.

Suzuki, who made his professional debut with the Urawa Reds in 2021, has been selected for the Japanese national team and has been attracting attention as the next goalkeeper. He joined Sintrawidan on loan in 2023 and made the European stage, and after the end of the season, he moved to Parma and began his full-fledged career in Europe. Following Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi and Eiji Kawashima, who previously played in Europe, he took over the genealogy of Japanese goalkeepers to Europe.
