Atalanta tries to steal the goal for the defense

Napoli must protect themselves from Atalanta’s interest in one of the objectives to strengthen the defense.

The Naples continues to keep an eye on all possible leads for the market. The Italian club wants to give to Antonio Conte a squad of the highest level, which will undoubtedly have to do much better than the team that last year managed to achieve only a tenth place in A leaguenot qualifying for any European cup.

The main department that the club will have to strengthen is the defense, which produced a horror performance in the last championship. The departure of Kim Min Jae in fact it created a crack that was not filled with the purchase of the Brazilian Nathan and the probable transition to a three-man defense with Conte will therefore impose a qualitative and quantitative increase in the players available for the department.

Napoli market, Atalanta enters for the Azzurri goal

Among the options available, Neheun Perez also stands out. The defender was really one step away from Napoli in January in an operation in which the Italian Ostigard would have ended up at Udinese. However, the excellent performance shown by the Norwegian defender in what was supposed to be his last match in blue (against Lazio) convinced De Laurentiis to make an about-face.

The move to a three-man defence, the Argentine’s favorite formation, would have made this option viable also during this summer transfer market. However, according to what Nicolò Schira reports, the pressing of theAtalanta. The Bergamo club must in fact replace Scalvini, who suffered a very serious injury in his last ever Serie A match, the recovery of Atalanta-Fiorentina on 2 June. The Orobic team will thus make a great attack on defense and it could be the old blue target Perez.
