From revolution to downsizing, Napoli’s future risks becoming more complicated. Gazzetta dello Sport writes it with Vincenzo D’Angelo.
From revolution to downsizing, Napoli’s technical future risks becoming quite complicated after this unfortunate post-Scudetto season. The goal is to always remain at the top, because Aurelio De Laurentiis is an entrepreneur who loves to travel first class, always among the best.
Even the January transfer window was a flop and now his Napoli is in dramatic danger of being left out of any European competition for next season. And it would be the first time after fourteen years, sensationally the year after the championship masterpiece.
Replacing Victor Osimhen without the appeal that participation in the top European competition can give will not be an easy task. And the treasure that Napoli will have at their disposal may not be enough to reach the first objectives on the list.
The future of Napoli between Osimhen and Lukaku
Napoli’s next transfer market also depends on Victor Osimhen’s next destination. The attacker is now destined to leave Naples, several teams are interested in him, including PSG. For Victor, France would be a return since he already played there with Lille. For this reason, according to Ginaluca Di Marzio, the Nigerian would prefer the Premier League. Chelsea seems to be interested in the player and Lukaku could also end up in the negotiation.
The idea of returning to France does not excite Osimhen
Speaking to Sky Sport 24 during the pre-match of Psg-Borussia Dortmund, Sky journalist and market expert Gianluca Di Marzio declared:
«The possibility of returning to play in France does not excite Osimhen, who has already played there with Lille. Clearly playing with PSG is different because you can play matches like tonight’s Champions League semi-final, but his preference is England. Arsenal and Chelsea are the two teams that could sign Osimhen and as long as this possibility is open he will wait».
Manna is already working on an exchange with Chelsea
Di Marzio then continued:
«Napoli’s new sporting director Manna is speaking with Chelsea to assess whether there is room to close the deal and to include Lukaku in the possible Osimhen deal. The operation would be similar to the one that was about to be done last summer between the English club and Juventus for Vlahovic. I’m not so sure that Osimhen will eventually play in France with PSG. He often goes to England when he has a day off and enjoys spending time there with his friends».
