Naples, 19 June 2024 – In football the debate on the real youth of a player is always heated and alive and often varies its arguments from country to country or, even worse, from team to team, with the so-called big names often not accustomed to giving trust and above all minutes to the less experienced elements of the squad, curiously however snatched with extreme voracity from the previous clubs of origin, perhaps less rich and ambitious but more suited to their growth. For many, behind this vicious circle, which ultimately hurts all parties involved, lies one of the main evils of Italian football, which leaves no room for its own youngsters except perhaps to buy peers from abroad at even higher prices. exaggerated. It also slipped into the folds of this sort of ‘nemo propheta in patria’ in pallonara sauce Giacomo Raspadorithe now former golden boy of Italian football who insummer 2022 The Naples took from Sassuolo upon payment of 30 million (5 million for the onerous loan e 25 million for the redemption obligation). A good investment repaid in part by almost always very heavy goals scored often in the Cesarini area and which have become, in their own way, the emblem of epic victories: above all the one scored by Juventus in the 93rd minute of the matchApril 2023, unanimously considered the starter for the Azzurri’s upcoming tricolor. Even before, to be precise insummer 2021, Raspadori had stood out with the darker blue of the National becoming a bit of the mascot of the victory of the Europeans. The role of talisman, however, is rightly starting to be close to the class of 2000, who since the retirement ofItalyexpected tomorrow evening from the delicate match against Spain in the context of Group Bsend a message to everyone: including ad Antonio Conte.
Raspadori’s appeal
The native of Bentivoglio he admitted that he had already had telephone contact with the new coach of Naples, even without delving into its content by choice. Between the lines of what was expressed by Iserlohn however, the message launched, almost as an appeal, is quite clear: the Raspadori Today’s 24-year-old, on a football level, no longer feels like a very young man. With all the consequences of the case. The main one involves the growing desire to carve out the space deserved and perhaps suitable for a player of his age who, as clearly stated by the person concerned, abroad would perhaps account for more than double the number of matches played as a starter. In short, the joker of the attack wants to return to being the protagonist as perhaps he was only with the shirt of Sassuolo thanks to the foresight of Roberto De Zerbi, not surprisingly publicly thanked. From then on, for him, in fact, only more or less substantial remnants of matches have arrived, softened by the aforementioned providential goals, which risk becoming a boomerang when the various coaches who have in their hands Raspadori they continue to use only the explosive potential that emerges in the final part of the matches. The exceptions though, talking about the adventure at Naples, there was no shortage of them: sporadic appearances from the first minute, usually in matches of non-crucial importance and in any case always experienced with the anxiety of having to prove something, as if it were an exam. TO Raspadori this marginal role is no longer good, as admitted to the microphones of Nationalwhere he in turn slipped back in the hierarchies, and as evidently confessed to With you, whose response for now pertains to the realm of the unknown. For the moment the problems linked to the Italian attack are very different: they range from the complicated renewal of Khvicha Kvaratskheliawith related discontent from the agent and father, to the termination clause that is blocking Victor Osimhen and his huge salary. The only certainty (so to speak) seems linked to the farewell air that circulates around John Simeon. Apparently a simple detail that can instead hint at the imminent climb up the hierarchies of Raspadoriwhich could become the first reserve of Osimhen (or his possible replacement). Good news even if it still doesn’t fully respond to the ex’s appeal Sassuolo, which by clearly explaining its expectations and needs has in a certain sense also partially placed itself on the market. In short, the now former very young and former mascot Raspadori wants to play continuously: evidently at Naples or elsewhere.
Marin one step away: the details
Any decision will pass from the desk of Giovanni Manna and even more so from that of Aurelio De Laurentiis, notoriously reluctant to sell players prematurely in whom he has invested so much from an economic and emotional point of view. Hard to know if Rafa Marin may sooner or later fall into this area. What is certain is that the defender owned by the real Madridbut last season on loan toAlavesseems one step away from Naples upon payment of 12 million. The central defender, who can also play on the left if necessary despite his strong foot being the right, should be tied to the blue shirt until June 30, 2029with a salary from 1.2 million plus bonuses. Even before that, to be precise insummer 2026The real Madrid could bring him back to base via a buy-back clause 30 million, for a value that was destined to rise in the following year. In short, the formula leaves open various scenarios not even that distant in time, just as the increasingly probable purchase of the 2002 class does not distance the other defenders followed by Naples: in strict order of importance, Alexander Good morning And Mario Hermoso. For the first, any speech will be postponed until after theEuropean, while for the second there is a phase of stasis and mutual reflections which, in turn, does not preclude any scenario. Everything is also possible for Raspadoriwho calls With you in a metaphorical sense and not only by asking for space before slipping further back in the hierarchies of a football that is moving ever faster: even more so for young people, often burned by too early labels which are not followed by the desired trust.
