For the first time in the history of Italian football, the scudetto was awarded during the Milan Derby. In fact, the latter emerged victorious Simone Inzaghi’s Inter, who at the height of a literally extraordinary season, has finally achieved the long-awaited second star.

However, this triumph is also the fruit of a truly disappointing season so far of Naples captained by Francesco Calzona. Incapable of defending and worthily honoring a championship, won after a wait lasting 33 years.

But now there are still five games left to play, starting from Sun derby against Roma. Match scheduled for Sunday 28 April, at 6.00 pm, in which the Azzurri will be called upon to make up for the very heavy 1-0 defeat against Empoli. Mirror of a decidedly disappointing season.

And that’s exactly why at home in Naples we are already thinking about the future, with an eye on the transfer market. In fact, according to the latest indiscretions, reported by Corriere dello Sport, it would seem that the Azzurri have targeted Genoa striker Mateo Retegui, among the possible substitutes for Victor Osimhen.

Napoli on Mateo Retegui: is he Osimhen’s heir?

One of the worst matches played so far from Francesco Calzona’s Napoli, it was definitely the one against Davide Nicola’s Empoli. Challenge won narrowly by the Tuscans 1-0, thanks to the first league goal by Alberto Cerri.

But now we need to turn the page, think about the home match against Rome, and plan the next season as best as possible. Which promises to be full of changes within the blue ranks. In fact, it is now known that at the end of hostilities, the Nigerian attacker Victor Osimhen will leave the slopes of Vesuvius forever, to most likely land at PSG.

Consequently, the Italian management is already at work in order to find his worthy replacement. In fact, according to the latest rumors, in addition to Jonathan David of Lille And Santiago Jimenez of Feyenoordit would seem that the Naples is following the Argentine tip very carefully Mateo Reteguiwho literally bewitched the patron Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Arrived last summer from the ranks of Tiger, so far the Argentine striker has scored a total of 8 goals in 27 appearances this season, accompanied by 3 assists. Really very positive numbers for n° 19 of Genoa, author of an excellent year at the court of Alberto Gilardinowhich in the next season could take on the heavy legacy of Victor Osimhen.
