Napoli are considering a January move for Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens, who is reportedly expected to leave the club during the winter transfer window.

Gittens, 22, joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2025 in a deal worth £52 million in total. However, injuries and a lack of consistent form have prevented him from establishing himself as a regular starter.

He struggled to secure a settled place under both Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior, and his situation has not improved since Xabi Alonso took charge. Gittens has played only 55 minutes for Chelsea so far this season.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli are prepared to offer Gittens an opportunity to move on from Stamford Bridge in January.

The Serie A club are also planning changes to their squad and are expected to sell Noa Lang and Lorenzo Lucca to help finance a mid-season rebuild.

Napoli would face competition from domestic rivals Roma, who reportedly came close to signing Gittens during the summer transfer window. Chelsea rejected Roma’s initial offer of €43 million, however, and the move did not go through.
