“He asked me about Arabia”

The transfer market is in full swing, but bad news is arriving for Napoli: a goal from Conte could definitely fade away in favor of going to play in Saudi Arabia.

After the end of the championship, it is time for the various clubs to work at the headquarters transfer market. Also the Naples is active in this sense, with the new ds Giovanni Manna ready to satisfy the coach’s requests, Antonio Conte. The two men chosen by the president Aurelio De Laurentiis to relaunch the Napoli project they have fully immersed themselves in the role, but obviously some difficulties are inevitable.

For example the situation linked to Osimhen is blocking the operations that the club would like to carry out. For the moment, no offers have been received for the Nigerian centre-forward, who has had a release clause for around 130 million euros. The Neapolitans are waiting for a company interested in purchasing the Nigerian, and then pouring into the market with the money obtained from the sale.

Lukaku in Saudi Arabia, Carrasco reveals everything in the press conference from the Belgian retreat

In case of farewell, Conte’s first objective remains Romelu Lukakubut buying the Belgian has definitely become complicated. To slow down the deal – as reported in today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport – are the operation costsbut also the inclusion of Arab clubs on the center forward. Here is what is highlighted:

The current parameters, as is known, are very high: the salary expected in his contract until 2026 is 10 million plus bonuses; in addition Chelsea rules out the possibility of letting him leave on loan and indeed aims exclusively at the definitive transfer, upon satisfaction of the 37.5 million pound release clause; more or less 44 million euros.

Very high costs, especially if you consider that Lukaku is now 31 years old and such a significant investment could hardly be absorbed with a future transfer. Regardless, for Napoli a further complication is arising for the purchase of Lukakuor the inclusion of clubs fromSaudi Arabia.

Confirming the fact that the Saudi League has a certain appeal for the Belgian was Lukaku’s compatriot, Yannick Carrasco – player ofAl-Shabab -, who since the national team’s retreat revealed in a press conference how the center forward has them asked for information and feedback from the Arab championship. Furthermore, Lukaku himself had revealed in a recent interview how he was fascinated by the potential of the Arab championship, which is now attracting more and more European stars, even in the millions.
