Napoli is looking for reinforcements, but first they will also have to sell some Azzurri. Updates on Osimhen and beyond.
The transfer market of Naples is preparing to get to the heart of things, with DS Manna ready to give the first shots to Antonio Conte. There is a lot to do at Napoli, given the profound renewal that will be implemented on the squad.
There is a hunt for buyers to sell Victor Osimhen, but in the meantime work is also being done on other fronts. Possible transfer for another Italian player.
Napoli, the sale of Osimhen is at a standstill: in the meantime, an Italian player is on the verge of being sold
These are complicated days for DS Manna, who continues his work on multiple fronts regarding the transfer market. At Napoli there is a need to make some transfers, including that of Victor Osimhen. For the Nigerian striker the situation is rather complicated, given that at the moment there are no official offers. Meanwhile, we are also working on the sale of another Italian player. In addition to exits, work is being done on entry shots, with the situations of Mario Hermoso and Alessandro Buongiorno quite hot. Alfredo Pedullà takes stock of the situation at Sportitalia:
“Osimhen? You have to find someone who can give you those 130 million, which can become 110 or 80 with a quid pro quo. PSG is at a standstill, then there’s Arabia who he rejected last year. Mario Rui can also leave Naples, he has offers from Portugal. Many were scared by Osimhen’s clause.
Napoli could accelerate for Hermoso, but the Azzurri would like to make two central defenders. Cairo reiterated today that Buongiorno is not on the market but then added that we’ll see. Which makes me think that it will depend on Napoli as they ask for 55 million and De Laurentiis has offered 35.”
The Napoli market will be unlocked when Osimhen is sold, but as of today there is a rather worrying stalemate. The clubs that were interested seem to have withdrawn, and this puts Napoli in difficulty. While waiting for news on the Osimhen front, we are considering the sale of Mario Rui. The Portuguese full-back has now finished his career at Napoli, and the sale seems very close. There is interest in Mario Rui from some Portuguese clubs, who would be ready to bring him back to his homeland.
Another important discussion concerns the objectives for Napoli’s defense. DS Manna is now close to closing Mario Hermoso on a free transfer, with the final details remaining to be ironed out. The main objective remains, however Good morning, for which a 35 million proposal from Turin has already been rejected. Cairo would like to keep Buongiorno, but most likely there will be a transfer. The demands of the Granata president are very high, given that they are asking for 55 million to sell the defender. At the moment the gap between supply and demand is wide, but it may narrow over the next few weeks. So there is a lot of irons in the fire in the Napoli house, with the DS Manna which works on the incoming and outgoing fronts.
