Not just that, a proper partner for Kvara would be nice. As yet, neither Politano nor Lozano or Zerbin can compare with Kvara. In fact, they have nothing on him.
I still wouldn't touch the roster. No additions or subtractions, this group feels different. Don't want to rock the boat in the dressing room.
Dybala probably regrets not picking us over Roma now. He would've been amazing on the right side when fit
Dybala would have came to Napoli had we also offered a joke of a release clause. Obvious that he wanted a pitstop club to then move on. I know that Roma have right to match any incoming offer, but they're essentially stuck with a guy that will give them max 20 games a season. They risk overpaying. On actual play, Dybala would have likely exploded in Naples. Our play would have suited him very well. In Roma the attacking players do too much work because the rest of the team are too busy clogging the toilet. Dybala getting injured was inevitable
Dybala had Allegri and now Mourinho. Imagine him under Spalletti. But we have a good team. We need a sub for Lobo and maybe Di Lorenzo
If we’re serious about winning something this year, we need a real left wing alternative to Kvara. We should buy Deulofeu
Now that the break is here, calcio mercato is back in the news. Giuntoli clarified Kim’s release clause. It only activates in July for two weeks and the figure is a variable one that depends on the revenue of the interested party. So it’s a range that can be 40-50 million depending on who is buying. Other news is that Napoli are interested in Samardzic at Udinese. He is one of their best young players. And Empoli’s Baldanzi who is an Italian U-20. I know he has a couple of goals but I haven’t watched him close enough to form an opinion
Aside from Samardzic, Napoli are also looking at Simone Pafundi who just received his first cap for Italy at 16 years old. Udinese have made it understood that they will only sell for a monster sum. In the past year he has been scouted by Inter, Man U, Liverpool and Real. They’re saying he is one of the best Italian talents in a long time. I’ve seen his HLs as well as the game he played last year Vs Salernitana but I don’t know what to make of him yet. He was born in Friuli but his parents are from Naples
Napoli are actively trying to move Demme as he doesn’t fit Spalletti’s style. Gattuso wants him at Valencia and now Salernitana have emerged as an interested party. In the end, it’s up to him. As a possible replacement, they are saying that Napoli have made inquiries about Frattesi who seemed to be destined for Roma. But again, dealing with Scamssuolo the price is too high. The fee would be somewhere in the 40’s. If he went to Roma, the price would be less because they earn a percentage on any future sale.
We're linked with Tajon Buchanan. If he's the Lozano replacement we'll be laughing. He's the real deal.
It’s a good thing Kim didn’t have a good World Cup because this has cooled any transfer talk. Napoli are trying to pounce on Kiwior who had a decent showing for Poland. Kiwior is also being courted by Juve
He is the true heir to Callejon. Differences being Buchanan is quicker, much better at beating his man, but with weaker finishing ability. Callejon near the end of his career also had a weak finishing ability but his first few years with us were fantastic. Buchanan is the perfect type of player to play opposite of Kvara. He hugs the sideline stretching the field and makes runs in behind.
Reading now that if Demme is sold, Napoli will not replace him. Zerbin’s agent has said he is not looking to place him anywhere and that he is fine in his role in Naples. The bench of Napoli is worth more than playing elsewhere.
I've seen links with Zaniolo. I'm a fan, but only if Zielinski gets sold. The player we should be after is ChiesaIMO.
Bereszynski looks to be a done deal. A nice backup for Di Lorenzo. At 30, he is what he is but he'll know his role and he has plenty of experience with both Sampdoria and the Polish national team having earned 50 caps. Looks like Zanoli will be sent on loan to Sampdoria for at least the rest of the season as well. I like Zanoli but he's raw. He needs more consistent gametime and I think at Sampdoria he'll have every opportunity to win a starting spot. Looks like a win-win, experienced RB to provide cover & one of our promising young players gets shipped to a spot he can win minutes in Serie A.
