AI summary
Massimiliano Allegri's Napoli side against Bologna featured the highest average age of any starting lineup in Serie A's opening four rounds, with the team's overall squad averaging significantly older than rivals. The gap between Napoli and Inter—the next oldest squad—exceeds a year, while Monza holds the youngest roster in the division.
Despite the current age profile, Napoli has begun a rejuvenation project with recent signings and long-term contracts for younger players, including deals running through 2031 with renewal options extending to 2034. The club's core remains anchored by experienced players in their thirties, but investment in prospects signals a shift toward building for the future.
