After parting ways with several players who left on a free transfer, DS Manna is paving the way for another farewell. One name is on the way out.
Napoli has said goodbye to six playersall of whom have reached the end of their contracts. The various players who have left the blue jersey as free agents have Zielinski, Gollini, Demme, Dendoncker, Idesiak and Traoré. But there will be other transfers, with the specific aim of renewing the squad available to Antonio Conte.
Sporting director Giovanni Manna is working on both fronts, that of acquisitions and that of farewells, to give life to a new project that can lead Napoli to win the Scudetto again. And to participate on a permanent basis in the Champions League, making a good impression, as it had been in recent years before the ill-fated 2023/2024 season.
Obviously, Napoli will also be talked about for some big purchases, during the 2024 summer transfer market that officially began on Monday 1 July. But for the moment, the priority seems to be the exits. This will make it easier to then make a decision on which elements will be needed to strengthen the Neapolitan team.
And so now another name has taken the stage, as far as the transfers that Napoli should implement are concerned. Together with Victor Osimhen, who is also among those leaving, as has been known for months, there is another element who should leave Conte’s team presumably within this month.
Napoli transfer market, the sale of a highly valued element is imminent
The footballer in question It’s Alessandro Zanoliwho is highly sought after by Genoa coached by Alberto Gilardino. For him, this would be his second experience in Liguria, after the fruitful loan – on a personal level – which took place from January to June 2023 at Sampdoria.
With the Blucerchiati Zanoli was relegated. And the same thing has happened from January to now, with the loan to Salernitana expiring on June 30 and with him returning to Napoli. The technical skills of the 23-year-old Emilian full-back there is no discussion, and it is no coincidence that Genoa wanted Zanoli already in the winter, when they spoke with Napoli about the possible sale of Radu Dragusin, who then went to Tottenham.
The Azzurri refused to include Zanoli’s card as a partial compensation to be given to the Rossoblu on a permanent basis. Now, however, according to what was reported by Sky Sport 24, the boy could join the Grifone. And he should do so on loan.
At Napoli so far the Emilian full-back has always been closed by Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who also represents another situation to be evaluated for Manna and for De Laurentiis. And in this sense we are talking about a possible exchange with the Bianconeri which would be nothing short of sensational.
