Lorenzo Insigne is a one-club man, representing SSC Napoli since his youth. Although he did represent Cavese, Foggia, and Pescara initially on loan spells, Insigne has never transferred permanently from the Partenopei.

He currently has a market value of €60m and has attracted interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid recently. Ancelotti is expected to base Napoli's style of play around the winger as they look to take the league title from Juventus.

Notable Exclusions: Ivan Perisić (Internazionale)(€45m), Keita Baldé Diao (Internazionale)(€30m), and Hakan Çalhanoğlu (AC Milan)(€27m)

Right Attacking Midfielder: Douglas Costa (Juventus)

Douglas Costa has been a revelation in the Serie A

Douglas Costa has represented some of the most exciting powerhouses in Europe. Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayern Munich and now Juventus. Although a traditional left winger by trade, Costa is known to play on the right side of the field as well, and the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo might make him play there permanently this season.

Costa has a market value of €55m and is expected to continue at Juventus as no clubs were scouting him this summer. Costa's pace and ability on the wings was a huge factor in Juventus retaining their title last season, and fans would definitely be excited to see him play again for the Old Lady.

Notable Exclusions: Federico Chiesa (Fiorentina)(€45m), Federico Bernardeschi (Juventus)(€40m), and Suso (AC Milan)(€35m)
