Papers dwell on 2027 contracts as Napoli awaits Frosinone

The Monday papers move on from the international break by digging into a run of contracts expiring in 2027 across half the squad. Ninth place and the wait for Frosinone stay in the background.

Tuttosport leads on Anguissa: Inter are watching the Cameroonian midfielder closely, with his Napoli contract running out in June 2027 and no renewal agreement yet in place. The paper adds this is not the first time Inter have shown interest in him.

TuttoMercatoWeb runs the same story with a more alarmed tone, raising an early departure that Tuttosport, for now, does not.

Anguissa renewal stalls: he could leave as early as January

TuttoMercatoWeb also looks at Meret's future. The goalkeeper's contract expires in June 2027 too, and the site reports the club is weighing his future while he recovers from the injury picked up against Arsenal, with a meeting between the parties expected before the end of the year.

TuttoMercatoWeb runs three more headlines on players out of contract in 2027, with little detail behind them: on Rrahmani, that "the SSC Napoli announcement is ready"; on De Bruyne, that "Napoli's position is emerging for the end of the season"; on Lobotka, "scenarios" that would start with "a decision" from the club. Three headlines, three open situations, nothing more.

La Gazzetta dello Sport looks at the pitch instead, and at Noa Lang. Massimiliano Allegri still trusts the Dutch winger, the paper says, despite 183 minutes played so far this season and no goals or assists to show for it.

Il Mattino keeps its focus on the team ahead of Frosinone on Saturday 10 October, the first match after the international break. After 7 points from 5 games, the paper points to possible good news with five players in line to return. The same paper also runs a headline saying Allegri is "seriously worried after seeing this", without specifying, for now, what "this" is.

Our take

A day like this, with five players out of contract in 2027 all popping up in the same batch of headlines, deserves a piece that lines them up and explains why the club risks having half the squad unsettled at once. Nobody does that; what is left are fragments. Headlines like the one on Rrahmani, or on an Allegri "worried" without a reason given, promise a story and do not deliver it. And somewhere among all the renewals, the thing that should matter most gets lost: Napoli are ninth with 7 points, and Frosinone, in twelve days, is the match that needs winning to change course — not a contract to sign.
