Napoli has been on the trail of Alessandro Buongiorno for some time, with the deal likely to be finalized soon. Meanwhile, the Azzurri have escaped a major danger.
One of the departments that the Sporting Director is working on the most Manna is the defensive one. The main objective remains the Torino defender, Alessandro Buongiorno, who is increasingly close to the Azzurri.
In fact, this week could be the decisive one for closing the deal. In the meantime, the Azzurri have avoided a big danger for the Torino defender.
Naples, Buongiorno escapes danger: the European Championships are involved
Since the first moments at the end of last season, one of the market rumours concerning Napoli concerned Alexander Good morning. The Azzurri are desperately looking for defenders to include in their squad, and the Granata defender is the main objective. The discussions have continued in recent weeks, albeit slowly due to the European Championships. A danger for Napoli could have come from the European Championships, which instead was avoided, as announced by Francesco Modugno a Radio Mars:
“Buongiorno’s arrival at Napoli is very probable. Napoli has escaped a great danger: Euro2024. Buongiorno never took to the field, and therefore his market value did not increase, something Urbano Cairo was aiming for. The great concern was that Buongiorno could play a good European Championship and become attractive to the Premier League clubs. Meanwhile, Napoli has already received the player’s approval.”
So the European Championships were quite a danger for the Napoli, since if Buongiorno had played a few games fairly well, he could have increased his value. Consequently, the interest of English clubs in Buongiorno would also have increased, but despite this they are carefully monitoring the Italian defender. The failure to use Buongiorno at the European Championships benefited Napoli, who remained in pole position for the Torino defender, and are close to making the move.
On the eve of the competition, Cairo he had announced that he wanted to wait for the European Championships, in which he hoped that Buongiorno’s value would grow. Unfortunately, however, it didn’t go that way, with the Granata defender practically not seeing the pitch. Consequently, the value of Buongiorno settles at the 40 million requested by the company Torino, which Napoli is ready to present. In fact, this week could be the decisive one to unblock the deal, with Buongiorno potentially embracing Napoli’s cause. There are therefore hot days ahead on the Napoli-Turin axis, with Buongiorno now close to becoming a Napoli player.
