(ANSA) – NAPLES, JUNE 03 – The signing of Antonio Conte, shortly, but also the farewell of Victor Osimhen which brings 130 million into Napoli’s coffers, the cash to rebuild the team: it is the double wait that the blue club is living, with president De Laurentiis eager to put the season just ended, in tenth place, into oblivion.
For Conte the wait is about to end: the coach and the president will meet in Rome in the next few days where they will sign the contract. The coach will sit on the Italian bench until 2027. This is the first step in the reconstruction of the team, with a coach in whom Napoli fans have great confidence. Conte is already in contact with De Laurentiis and with the Italian sporting director Giovanni Manna regarding the transfer market.
The other issue concerns the arrival of the clause offer for Osimhen, who is waiting. The Nigerian striker was injured as soon as he said goodbye to the city to join his national team and will miss the closing matches of the season, but is ready to return as a protagonist in a big Champions League club.
Chelsea seemed ready to launch the offer by also bringing in Lukaku at Napoli, but for now everything is at a standstill, also given the necessary evaluations of Enzo Maresca, the new Blues coach who signed today and who, according to English rumors, would not be in love with Osimhen, and indeed he would like to keep Lukaku. Then there is Paris Saint Germain who seems tempted to rebuild the pair of Napoli stars, also trying to invest over 100 million for Kvaratskhelia, making Mbappé, who goes to Real Madrid, forget about the championship-winning duo.
But the offer for Osimhen has not yet reached Napoli, who are instead trying to resist the assault on the Georgian left winger. There is now also interest in the Nigerian from Arsenal, who are looking for the decisive weapon to be able to beat Manchester City and win the Premier League again and who are proposing to include Emile Smith Rowe to lower Osimhen’s super clause. Napoli is waiting for the offers to become real, in the meantime they are preparing the contract renewal of Kvaratskhelia, who is tempted to play the Champions League as a protagonist and who they are trying to convince to stay in the blue team.
