  "account": "Napoli are reportedly eyeing Manchester United and Chelsea players Joshua Zirkzee and Nicolas Jackson as replacements for Lorenzo Lucca, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. Both players are expected to leave their current teams this summer. Zirkzee, a Dutch player, has interests from Juventus and other clubs, but Juventus must first sell Jonathan David. Napoli has shown interest in both Zirkzee and Jackson recently. Meanwhile, Atalanta is seeking Noa Lang on loan, with Galatasaray and Ajax also showing interest. Napoli might retain Atalanta's Noa Lang if no offer meets their €25M target. Italian striker Gabriel Jesus could draw interest from Fiorentina if Napoli sells him. The Chelsea striker, who played on loan at Bayern Munich last season and scored 11 goals, faces competition for a new club from Arsenal, who are seeking a higher offer. Napoli's decision will likely depend on figures and financial aspects rather than the skills of the potential new signing.",
