A truly incredible option on the Inter-Napoli axis: sensational exchange and shocked fans, here’s what happened.
The most anticipated moment of the year for fans has arrived. The summer transfer market session is as always a harbinger of dreams and hopes, of super hits and ideas that the fans of the big teams keep eager to embrace top-level players. This is what will happen for Inter and Napoli.
The reigning Italian champions, after the well-deserved celebrations for the second star, travel quickly towards an intelligent, targeted and prudent purchasing campaign. Beppe Marotta has already secured two free transfer deals months ago which have reduced the midfield and attack. It’s a short step from Piotr Zielinski to Mehdi Taremi. And it certainly doesn’t end there. Because the Nerazzurri management still has some operations in mind: from Martinez between the posts, it’s practically done, up to Gudmundsson who could move from Genoa to Simone Inzaghi’s court.
At the same time, Napoli saw the Scudetto snatched from their chest with disarming ease, having rushed to the rescue by snatching away from their competitors the coach who is probably the most sought-after and successful available on the market. The signature of Antonio Conte with Aurelio De Laurentiis’s club it cannot fail to be a very strong signal that gives guarantees to the fans. And even in the transfer market, the former technical commissioner will certainly not hold back.
In this sense there is a scenario that would directly involve Inter and Napoli and which speaks of a crazy exchange between two pillars to say the least of Nerazzurri and Neapolitans. An absolutely incredible option that would lead to important news for Inzaghi and Conte himself: exchange in the same role.
Crazy exchange: Inter-Napoli, not just Di Lorenzo
It is known that in recent times, especially following the words of his agent Mario Giuffredi, Giovanni Di Lorenzo has distanced himself from remaining in the blue jersey. The Napoli captain, despite the latest reports that he would be close to changing his mind, was however a hair’s breadth from Inter.
An idea, now almost completely vanished, would have led the Napoli full-back to play wearing the Nerazzurri shirt while Denzel Dumfries would have ended up at the court of Antonio Conte. The Dutch full-back, whose contract expires in 2025 and is still far from renewing with the ‘Beneamata’, would have been the perfect addition for the Azzurri to replace the former Empoli player. At a time of greatest ‘crisis’ between clubs and players, an option that would have literally blown the bank.
At the moment, however, the chances that Di Lorenzo will mend the rift with Napoli and remain – as a starter – under Conte’s orders seem to be clearly on the rise. As for the Dutch international, it cannot be ruled out at all that he could remain in Milan, even when the contract expires and without extension. The future of Di Lorenzo and Dumfries is still to be fully deciphered but the sliding door that brought them closer to the sensational exchange would certainly have left the Napoli and Inter fans speechless.
