Napoli is setting its sights on strengthening its goalkeeping position, with Czech Republic international Matej Kovar emerging as a key target.

The current situation sees Napoli assessing the performances of Alex Meret and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, both of whom had their challenges in the previous season. Meret has struggled with injuries, limiting his availability, while Milinkovic-Savic, despite being contracted until 2030, has shown inconsistencies that raise questions about his long-term role.
Enter Matej Kovar, a promising young goalkeeper currently playing for PSV Eindhoven. Kovar, who recently secured a move from Bayer Leverkusen, could be the fresh presence Napoli needs between the posts. His performances for the Czech national team have caught the attention of the club's scouting network, positioning him as a viable candidate to resolve Napoli's goalkeeping dilemma.
