The Napoli transfer market is about to get underway, surprisingly Matteo Politano could also be sold: what’s happening.
A season to forget, the one just experienced by Naples. The Italian club finished the championship in tenth place in the league table A league, remaining out of qualification for next season’s European cups: an event that hasn’t happened for 15 years. This is a clear sign of how many things have not worked, which is why the president Aurelio De Laurentiis decided to revolutionize everything.
New management, new technical staff and new players. Giovanni Manna has already been made official as the new director of the Napoli sports area, while Antonio Conte will soon be announced as the new coach. Afterwards the two, together with the other club managers, will evaluate which ones should be part of the Neapolitan project in the near future.
Latest news Naples, Roma’s interest in Matteo Politano
A surprise transfer could concern that of Matteo Politano. The striker (31 years old in August, ed.) is coming off the best personal season of his career, with 9 goals and 10 winning assists provided to his teammates. Politano managed to stand out, despite Napoli’s unsuccessful year, this still attracted the attention of other clubs. One above all – as reported on X by the journalist Jacopo Palizzi of TeleRadioStereo – is Roma.
The Capitolines are looking for offensive wingers who can improve the offensive department of Daniele De Rossi’s team. Politano would have the perfect characteristics sought by Roma, but obviously the negotiation with Napoli would not be easy to initiate. The player is tied by a contract until 2027 with the Azzurri, renewed only a few months ago, when there were sirens from Saudi Arabia for Politano. Napoli, in fact, had come to refuse an offer that was close to 15 million euros to retain the winger.
It remains to be seen whether the arrival of Antonio Conte may have changed something in the club’s ideas. Politano’s agent, Mario Giuffredi, confirmed just a few days ago that the player would remain in blue, but now everything could change. In fact, it should be remembered that Politano grew up in Roma’s youth sector, even though he never had the opportunity to play in the first team with the Giallorossi. Now, however, a possible call could change everything, particularly if Napoli continues to show interest in other players such as Federico Chiesa, Albert Gudmundsson or Mason Greenwood. All offensive wingers who, if they were to arrive in blue, would actually take away space from Politano. For now it’s just an interest on the part of the Giallorossi, it remains to be seen whether it will evolve into something more in the coming weeks.
