During his introductory press conference at Napoli, Noa Lang also spoke about the past interest from Milan under Maldini and Massara. These were his statements reported by TMW:
You were close to joining Milan in the past; you already had a strong desire to come to Italy. What intrigues you about this country?
"To tell the truth, that interest from Milan was a bit exaggerated by the media. They had some meetings with my father and my agent, but we were never close. What I like about Italy is the culture, the passion for football, the cuisine, the people. I can’t wait to discover Italy also from a footballing perspective."
