The relaunch of Napoli depends on the reconstruction of the defense and in the club’s plans the Torino centre-back is one of the two defenders to be included to form Conte’s new three-man line. The deal is not easy, but several steps forward have already been made for weeks: Napoli obtained the technical approval of the player, approached the entourage’s requests – a decisive step in then snatching the player from Turin – and brought the offer already at 35 million euros (without compensation). It is clear, however, that with the European Championships leaving for Italy today there is no rush for Torino to speed up operations considering that the objective will be to largely break through the 40 million mark.

Now let’s see how the European Championships go, I wish him the best and I hope he’s with us next year wearing the captain’s armband”, the words of the Turin president who hopes that the European showcase can raise the valuation or in any case also attract clubs from abroad, perhaps from the Premier League, in order to fuel an auction that currently does not exist . This is also why Italy’s debut represents a first stage in what promises to be a long negotiation for Buongiorno.
