Billing, Okafor, and Scuffet Set to Leave Napoli After Impactful 2024/25 Season





SSC Napoli is preparing for significant squad changes as Philip Billing, Noah Okafor, and Simone Scuffet will depart the club following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season. Each player, primarily on loan, contributed to Napoli’s campaign but will not continue with the club next season.

Philip Billing: Solid Midfield Presence with 10 Serie A Appearances

Philip Billing joined Napoli on loan from Bournemouth in January 2025. During his stint, Billing made 10 Serie A appearances, scoring 1 goal. His most notable contribution was a decisive goal against Inter Milan, showcasing his ability to impact important matches despite limited minutes. Billing played a total of 189 minutes in Serie A for Napoli, primarily as a central midfielder. Despite his efforts, Napoli decided not to activate the €10 million buy option, signaling a shift in midfield plans for the 2025/26 season.


Noah Okafor: Talented Winger Limited by Injuries

Noah Okafor arrived on loan from AC Milan with a €23.5 million purchase option. Injuries hampered his ability to consistently contribute, but he managed to show glimpses of his attacking prowess when fit. Okafor made 19 appearances across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists. Napoli has opted not to exercise the buy clause, leaving the door open for new attacking reinforcements.


Simone Scuffet: Backup Goalkeeper with Limited Impact

Simone Scuffet’s loan spell was short and mainly served as backup. He made only 3 appearances in Serie A and Coppa Italia combined. Napoli will not pursue a permanent deal, and Scuffet will return to his parent club. The club is expected to seek other goalkeeper options ahead of the new season.

What This Means for Napoli’s Squad

The exits of Billing, Okafor, and Scuffet reflect Napoli’s ongoing squad evolution as they prepare for the 2025/26 campaign with ambitions to defend their Serie A title and make a strong Champions League run. The club is actively pursuing new signings to fill the gaps left by these departures.
