Artem Dovbyk is one of Napoli’s targets for the role of deputy Osimhen, Manna met with the entourage and received news on the clause.
The transfer market summer hasn’t officially started, but all the clubs have already started maneuvers and negotiations to strengthen their respective teams. The Naples it will certainly be among the clubs that will operate the most on the market, having started a real revolution. The arrivals of Giovanni Manna as new director of the sports area e Antonio Conte as a new coach, they were just the first two pieces of a re-foundation that is just beginning.
Many players are at the end of their journey in blue, while others have to relaunch their prices. There is also one of those who should greet the Neapolitan team Victor Osimhenfor which a real offer is expected which provides for the payment of €130 million release clause. Once the Nigerian striker has been bid farewell, the Napoli management will dive into the market to find a replacement.
No clause, only a verbal agreement between Girona and Dovbyk: it can be closed for less than 40 million euros
Antonio Conte’s favorite remains Romelu Lukakuthat the Chelsea – owner of the card – does not intend to loan out. Therefore, a proposal of around 20-25 million from the Azzurri for the purchase cannot be ruled out. If the Blues, who demand payment of the 43 million euro clause, were to refuse, the Neapolitans would be ready to turn to alternative number 1 on Manna’s list: Artem Dovbyk.
For the Ukrainian center forward – today’s edition reports Corriere dello Sport – there has already been an approach in a meeting between Manna and the footballer’s entourage. Here is what is highlighted:
“Manna, however, is not at a standstill, on the contrary: from Naples, after the two days of meetings with Conte, he moved to Milan, the market city, and resumed his direct contacts with Artem Dovbyk’s entourage, in fact the goal artist of the last Liga: 24 goals in 36 days, more than anyone else in the match, the top scorer of the season with the surprising Girona shirt. Pichici: quite a boast. The cost of his price tag is 40 millionthe starting point: not a real termination clauserather the figure written at the bottom of the gentlemen’s agreement that his agents and the Spanish club signed in the midst of the glory days they have just experienced.”
In short, what was believed to be a termination clause is actually a verbal agreement between Dovbyk agents and the Gironawho at this point could also accept the sale for slightly lower figures.
