Demba Ba could be making a move to Naples during the winter transfer window, reuniting with his former coach Rafael Benitez. The Senegalese striker, currently out of favor at Chelsea under José Mourinho, may find a new home with Napoli.
Napoli, which has already been active in the transfer market with signings like Gonzalo Higuain during the summer, is reportedly interested in securing the services of Demba Ba. The potential transfer fee is estimated to be around 6 or 7 million euros, according to Tuttosport.
The connection between Demba Ba and Rafael Benitez is a key factor in this potential move, as the Spanish coach had brought Ba to Chelsea last winter during his interim period at the London club. During that time, Ba featured in 14 Premier League matches under Benitez’s management.
With limited playing time under Mourinho this season, the move to Napoli could offer Demba Ba a fresh opportunity to showcase his skills and contribute to the Italian club’s attacking prowess.
