Napoli eager to get Zaccagni after Lazio struggle

Originally posted on Football Italia | Last updated Jun 2, 2025 5:34 PM ET

Mattia Zaccagni could be tempted by the interest from Scudetto winners Napoli, especially after Lazio failed to qualify for Europe.

The winger turns 30 later this month and has a key role at the Stadio Olimpico, having recently signed a contract to 2029 and wearing the captain’s armband this season.

However, the dismal end to the current campaign could change the situation, as the Biancocelesti’s 1-0 home defeat to 10-man Lecce saw them miss out on Europe altogether.

Zaccagni must consider his options

The Aquile are eager to keep hold of Zaccagni and hope that the return of coach Maurizio Sarri, which was made official today, could be enough to convince him to stay.

Antonio Conte is an admirer of the Italy international and is eager to bring him in following the Scudetto and Champions League qualification.

They had already tried to sign him in January when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was sold to Paris Saint-Germain.

Zaccagni contributed 10 goals and nine assists in 46 competitive appearances for Lazio this term, having joined the club in 2021 from Hellas Verona.
