Napoli ignore De Bruyne and Lucca's punishment despite rising tension

Corriere dello Sport has revealed that Napoli's management has decided not to impose any financial penalties on Kevin De Bruyne and Lorenzo Lucca following the disagreement that arose between them during the recent match against FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League.

The duo had a clear altercation on the pitch during the closing minutes of the match, reflecting the frustration and tension the team is experiencing after a heavy defeat against FC Porto.

According to the Italian newspaper, the incident involving De Bruyne and Lucca was not an isolated case within SSC Napoli, as the team has previously experienced conflicts and disputes among several players, but these remained away from the media to avoid stirring up further controversy.

These developments come during a difficult time for SSC Napoli, as results have been declining and pressure is rising within the team, making the maintenance of dressing room cohesion one of the main challenges for the coaching staff and management in the upcoming phase.
