Napoli is evaluating a new profile for the attack: Giovanni Simeone and Victor Osimhen are ready to leave the Campania capital.
The management of Napoli is now projected towards the future: the disappointing season is now a closed chapter, De Laurentiis is testing the waters for next year. The upcoming year will certainly have to be much more convincing than the last one: the lost motivation will necessarily have to be rediscovered and the club will have to make an effort to ensure the next coach has a quality squad.
In a few months Victor Osimhen and Napoli will have to part ways: the number 9 is courted by Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea above all, willing to pay, the first, termination clause from 130 million, or in the case of the English to try to include valid and functional players for the “new” Napoli in the negotiation. The same goes for the Cholito Simeon which will have to find a new arrangement: disappointing score and incisiveness greatly reduced compared to the championship season.
Consequently, the Azzurri management is taking action to secure a center forward who can guarantee a certain and substantial number of goals for the Neapolitan court. There failure to qualify for the Champions League it will cost the club its coat of arms and credibility and it is unlikely that a great striker will be able to accept the reconstruction proposal of the blue club.
New goal for the attack: play in Serie A
De Laurentiis has set his sights on a new profile, suitable for the role of Napoli’s number 9. The player in question signed 11 goals in the season between the championship, Italian Cup and national team. Close to being called up for the immediate European Football Championship in Germany, Mateo Retegui he could seriously apply for a place among Napoli’s possible signings.
The idea stalled DovbykUkrainian striker and revelation of La Liga, declared untransferable after the great season with his team Gironathe Italian management, as reported by “La Gazzetta dello Sport”would have chosen to focus on a now expert and decisive player like Retegui. The Italian-Argentine, despite not having had a devastating impact in his first year in Italy, has managed to create an ideal dimension where he can be decisive.
His goals are the frames of a thoroughbred attacker, an area predator and always ready to deceive the goalkeeper. Equipped with a great positional sense, despite the various injuries that have stopped him this season, he is one of the main suspects to play a fundamental role under the shadow of Vesuvius.
