After signing with Napoli, Conte requested his first purchase from owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and the latter is ready to satisfy him
After the announcement and signing of Antonio Conte as the new coach, the enthusiasm has returned to Naples. There is an absolute need to leave behind a disappointing season like the one that recently ended, which ended with a tenth place in the standings and with exclusion from European competitions. The new sporting director Manna knows that he will have to work hard this summer to satisfy the Apulian coach’s requests on the transfer market.
There are many departments that need to be strengthened. The signing campaign will be financed by the sale of Victor Osimhen, with Chelsea the favorite club to sign the Nigerian striker and which would also allow the arrival in Campania of Romelu Lukaku.
Instead, Kvara should remain which Conte is crazy about and who he wants to focus on as a second striker or winger in a five-man midfield, with the possibility of focusing on shots, inserting himself into spaces and providing valuable assists for his teammates.
In midfield we will need a replacement who is equal to the departing player Piotr Zielinski who decided not to renew his contract with the Azzurri and to move to Milan to wear the shirt of the Italian Champions Inter.
Napoli’s defense needs reinforcements, Conte asked for one in particular
But it is above all the defensive line that has been one of the weak points that has led to an insufficient performance in the championship. Napoli is still Kim’s orphan and Conte demands a strong central player.
Among the names identified for some time is Alexander Good morning, from Turin. The Granata captain was among the best defenders in the 2023/24 Serie A, showing important growth and will now go on to be a protagonist with Italy at the next European Championships. According to what was reported by Il Mattino, De Laurentiis would have gone so far as to offer up to 40 million to bring him to Naples.
Di Lorenzo will leave Naples, Conte asks for a quality full-back
Another problem to address concerns the wingers given that they captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo he expressed his intention to leave Naples, not accepting the possibility of being coached by Conte.
His landing place which at the moment seems most plausible is that of Juventus, with the sporting director of the Bianconeri Cristiano Giuntoli who brought him to Campania and who he knows, willing to offer up to 20 million.
