another lead for the defense advances

Exclusive market news on Napoli: the negotiation that would bring Mario Hermoso to Napoli is stalling, with another defender chosen in his place.

The Napoli transfer market continues frenetically: there is a need to strengthen a squad that has only managed a disappointing tenth place this season. The ambition of the new coach Antonio Conte forces the company to make useful moves to offer a much more valid squad than last year. The department that should be most affected by these should be the defensive one, given the frighteningly negative numbers of the last year regarding goals conceded.

There will also be a need to increase the number of players in the department, given the probable move to a 3-man defense by the new coach. For this reason, it seems almost certain that there will not just be one purchase to revolutionize the department, but at least two. There is some news to report regarding the possible names.

In this regard, there are total confirmations regarding this negotiation. They also emerge from the first figures: 15 million for the price tag, 20 million for the buyback in favor of the Blancos. The Madrid club, in fact, wants to keep open the possibility of the player returning to the base, as has already been done for example for Brahim Diaz. Work is still ongoing with Real Madrid managers to find a definitive agreement regarding the transfer formula.

As previously mentioned, this however would not be the only blow to involve the department. In fact, Napoli also continues with contacts for Alessandro Good morning. Last week, in fact, we reported the meeting with his entourage in Milan, but from that moment on the contacts did not cease. He is therefore continuing to work hard on his track as well, as a further shot to strengthen the defense available to Conte.
