Italian Market Opens Its Appetite for Moroccan Talent: Napoli Pursues Talbi and Ben-Sagir
In an unprecedented wave of interest in Moroccan talent, Napoli’s management has launched a dual hunt targeting two of the standout stars of the Moroccan youth team: Shamseddine Talbi, the Belgian Club Brugge player, and Elias Ben-Sagir, a midfielder from AS Monaco.
Calcio Mercato revealed that Napoli is pursuing the young player Shamseddine Talbi (19), who has become a key figure in Club Brugge’s lineup despite his youth, now attracting the attention of major European clubs.
Napoli views Talbi as an ideal investment to bolster its attacking line, as the young player combines agility, physical strength, and playmaking ability, capturing the admiration of coaches in Serie A.
The second deal faces fierce competition, with Napoli reportedly making a staggering €40 million offer to secure Elias Ben-Sagir (20), attempting to snatch him from the jaws of European football giants.
The player, who has dazzled everyone with his outstanding performance at Monaco (9 goals this season), is now at the center of a genuine transfer war involving Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City, a clear indication of the major clubs’ rush for Moroccan talents.
