Michael Folorunsho
MON
Heads to Monza
Folorunsho is moving to Monza on loan with an option to buy from Napoli.
Analysis: Folorunsho is set for his third consecutive season on loan away from Napoli after recording two goals, 36 shots (nine on target), 14 key passes and 22 crosses (four accurate) in 27 matches with Cagliari in the most recent one. He'll likely play mostly as a no.10, splitting duties with Andrea Colpani, Dany Mota Carvalho and Jay Robinson and occasionally be deployed as a box-to-box.
Will skip Genoa game
Folorunsho was omitted from Napoli's call-ups to face Genoa on Saturday.
Analysis: Folorunsho was omitted from the squad, as his name has popped up in the rumor mill in the last few days, as he could be on the move again after Cagliari didn't retain him, even though he had a solid campaign in 2025/2026.
Not acquired by Cagliari
Folorunsho is returning to Napoli, as Cagliari didn't activate their option to buy.
Analysis: Folorunsho was a linchpin for most of the campaign, scoring twice and adding 36 shots (nine on target), 14 chances created, and 22 crosses (four accurate) in 27 showings (24 starts). However, his price tag was deemed too expensive. He'll be judged by new Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri during the summer to see whether he could come in handy as a backup.
Will miss Milan clash
Folorunsho "won't be available Sunday due to a late muscular problem," coach Fabio Pisacane stated.
Analysis: Folorunsho will take further tests after the match. Alessandro Deiola, Ibrahim Sulemana and Gennaro Borrelli will absorb his minutes in a couple of roles. He has scored twice and notched 36 shots (nine on target), 14 chances created and 22 crosses (four accurate) in 27 appearances, missing significant time due to a knee tear midway through the season. He might be headed back to Napoli after the end of his loan spell.
Misfires in Udinese match
Folorunsho drew four fouls and registered five shots (zero on goal), one clearance and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Udinese.
Analysis: Folorunsho was a key cog of the offense and set a new season high in attempts, but he didn't come close to the mark in any of them. He has had at least one shot in 11 appearances on the trot, amassing 19 (two on target), scoring twice and adding four chances created, five crosses (two on target) and four tackles (two won) over that span. Additionally, this marked his third game in a row with one or more clearances (five total).
