The meeting between Antonio Conte and De Laurentiis in Rome is over, an idea for the new Azzurri midfield emerges.
Antonio Conte he has already been Napoli’s coach for a few weeks, at least virtually. The Salento coach surrendered to the unbridled court of Aurelio De Laurentiiswho had been trying to bring him under the shadow of Vesuvius for months now, thanks to a consolidated friendship.
At the end of the first Italian meeting with De Laurentiis and the new Neapolitan sporting director Manna, the former Inter and Juventus coach reiterated some transfer market lines, specifically indicating Romelu Lukaku And Alexander Good morning as the primary objectives for attack and defense.
Conte, there is a name for the midfield: it costs 25 million and comes from Spain
In the summer, a half revolution will take place in Naples, a bit like what happened in 2022. The renewal will not only take place in the defensive and offensive department, but also in the key area of the green rectangle. Indeed, there will probably be the biggest changes in midfield.
Piotr Zielinski in fact, after 8 years he will say goodbye to Napoli, causing the club to lose a player with immense technical weight, finally, they will say goodbye to those who were not included in the project: Demme, Dendoncker and Traorè. In practice there will be a hole to fill with at least a couple of signings, beyond the returning Folorunsho who earned confirmation at Napoli as well as the call up to the national team in Verona.
As reported by TuttomercatowebHowever, there would be another name particularly appreciated by Antonio Conte. That of Javi Guerra, a young player who exploded this season at Valencia. The player, already sought by Barcelona and Real Madrid in January, could say goodbye to his club in the summer session, provided that the amount requested by the club is paid, which would not sell its player for less than 25 million.
A figure that is not impossible to reach and fully within Napoli’s availability and therefore they could think of satisfying Conte with what would be a futuristic investment. Guerra, 21 years old, was born in 2003 and, from a corporate perspective, has always been very attentive to the financial aspect and could therefore represent a technical and economic opportunity. We’ll see, as of today Javi Guerra joins the list of names linked to the club. The Conte effect was easily predictable, the former Italy coach has always been known for his hunger to win and these first talks with the owners would have confirmed it.
