**Milan, Italy** – Napoli’s convincing win against Atalanta has reignited Scudetto hopes, according to football lawyer Claudio Pasqualin. Speaking to TuttoMercatoWeb.com, Pasqualin praised Napoli’s gritty performance, describing the victory as “beautiful and deserved.” He believes Napoli is now a serious contender, though he expects Inter to remain a strong challenger. While Atalanta shouldn’t give up, Pasqualin acknowledged Napoli’s significant lead.

Meanwhile, Juventus’ return to winning ways, after a string of inconsistent performances, has been welcomed. Pasqualin attributed their previous struggles to a lack of defined playing style and squad cohesion. He anticipates Juventus will bolster their defense and seek a backup striker for Vlahovic in the upcoming transfer window. He expressed less enthusiasm about Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, suggesting he’s a good player but not essential.

Regarding Napoli’s potential absence of Kvaratskhelia, Pasqualin believes manager Luciano Spalletti will adapt and maintain competitiveness. He also commented on Milan’s acquisition of Kyle Walker, calling it a good addition but highlighting the need for a prolific striker to complement their squad.

Finally, Pasqualin expressed concern for Sampdoria’s Serie B campaign. While their initial performance surprised, he believes they are weaker than anticipated and will require further investment in the transfer market to avoid relegation.
