Noa Lang remains available for transfer at Napoli, with Ajax and Galatasaray making contact over a deal for the Dutch winger.

According to Sky Sport, via CalcioMercato, sporting director Giovanni Manna has been approached by both clubs in the past 24 hours, adding to interest from Atalanta, who made their own move last week.

Lang returned to Naples on 30 June after a loan spell at Galatasaray, but remains peripheral to Massimiliano Allegri’s plans and has continued to be shopped around by the club.

Galatasaray return for Lang could end Leao interest

A move back to Turkey would mark a reunion for Lang, who spent six months on loan at Galatasaray last season, and reports suggest it would likely close the door on the Turkish club’s parallel pursuit of Milan’s Rafael Leao.

So far, though, none of the three suitors, Ajax, Galatasaray or Atalanta, have gone beyond proposing a loan, at most including an obligation to buy, a structure that falls short of Napoli’s preference for an outright sale.
