Ovando, Napoli join the race: challenge to Inter for Argentine talent

The race for Ignacio Ovando is growing. Napoli have reportedly placed the Rosario Central talent on their shortlist, with Inter already following him closely. SportMediaset reports a transfer scenario that could see the two Italian clubs compete for the young Argentine.

For Inter, this is therefore not an isolated interest: the competition from Napoli makes a potential investment more complicated and could influence the strategies for the coming months. At present, the report provides no details on a fee, the length of a possible deal or the timing of the operation, but it confirms that Ovando has attracted the attention of prominent Serie A clubs. Napoli thus join the group tracking the Rosario Central player.

Inter enter the break after beating Como 2-0, following their 3-0 Champions League victory away to Feyenoord. Cristian Chivu’s team will return to action on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at 20:45, away against Atalanta. In the meantime, the club continues to monitor the market, including the Ovando situation.
