Napoli are still waiting for Massimiliano Allegri to get out of his Milan contract so they can formalize his arrival, but they are already getting to work on the transfer market, Corriere dello Sport informs.
The Serie A runner-ups might not continue with the dualism between Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and Alex Meret between the sticks. They are ready to listen to the offers for either. They have shortlisted Matej Kovar, whom PSV just bought out from Bayer Leverkusen for €5M, if need be.
Napoli have been searching for a right-back for a few years and continue to focus on Dodo, Anan Khalaili, and Juanlu Sanchez. The Israeli international is their top choice, but Union SG’s demands are too rich for them. They have been trying to sign the Sevilla specialist for a few windows. In the middle, they keep chasing after Mario Gila, but he has a €30M price tag. Lazio could keep him, risking a Bosman exit.
The Partenopei will talk with Frank Anguissa, who’s been on the brink of leaving in the past but was convinced by Antonio Conte. His contract runs out in 2027. He’d eventually have to prolong it. If he left, the Azzurri would target Adrien Rabiot, albeit the situation at Milan is highly volatile, and Benfica’s Richard Rios. The latter transferred for €30M a year ago.
Our Take on Napoli
They are in for an interesting summer, and most of their big question marks will be answered only after the World Cup. First and foremost, they must decide whether to consolidate their status with a few surgical tweaks or really go for it to challenge Inter, augmenting the quality of their squad with a pair of coups.
