Serie A champions Napoli confirmed on Thursday that they have signed Dutch forward Noa Lang from PSV Eindhoven.
“SSC Napoli announces that it has officially acquired the registration of the player Noa Noell Lang from PSV Eindhoven,” the club stated in a brief announcement on their website.
Italian media reports indicate that Napoli paid 25 million euros ($29 million) for the 26-year-old, who is the second notable departure from PSV in just a week, following Malik Tillman's transfer to Bayer Leverkusen.
Lang developed his skills at Ajax before moving on loan to Belgian club Club Brugge in October 2020, making his stay permanent the next summer.
In 2023, he transferred to PSV, where he made 63 appearances across all competitions, netting 19 goals and providing 14 assists.
During his tenure at PSV, he secured two Eredivisie titles, alongside a pair of Belgian league trophies while at Brugge.
Lang has also earned 14 caps for the Netherlands, scoring three times and contributing two assists for the national team.
His arrival comes on the heels of Napoli's signing of Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City, marking Italy’s most significant transfer of the summer.
The club is also in advanced talks with Udinese regarding another forward, Italian international Lorenzo Lucca (priced at 35 million euros), and is pursuing Bologna’s Dutch defender Sam Beukema (30 million euros).
After being crowned Italian champions for the fourth time last season, Napoli aims to fund these signings through the permanent transfer of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray for a fee of 75 million euros.
