Antonio Conte will be the new manager of Napoli. Now there are no more doubts. President De Laurentiis’ announcement could already arrive in the next few hours. The great courtship ultimately brought the hoped-for fruits and so Conte will sign a 3-year contract worth around 7 million euros. The final details regarding the composition of the staff and image rights have been resolved. In short, Conte’s adventure at Napoli is ready to begin. De Laurentiis’ intentions are evident. The goal is to immediately return to fighting for the championship. And the first step that the blue club wants to take is to retain Kvaratskhelia. Paris Saint Germain has presented an almost indispensable offer of more than 100 million euros but the blue club does not intend to take it into consideration. Also because Osimhen will already lose and therefore the Georgian winger becomes essential in Conte’s project. Paris will not give up easily but Napoli wants to resist and at the same time negotiate the renewal of Kvara, with the assumption of extending the contract currently expiring in June 2027 and significantly increasing the salary. There is a desire to find a solution and this is undoubtedly a positive aspect. Another of Conte’s key points is to keep Di Lorenzo.
And if Napoli is determined to relaunch Juventus is also ready to leave for its market. This week will be Thiago Motta’s week. Everything should be sorted out, with the former Bologna coach ready to start his new adventure. At Juventus, the financial issue is always very central so the objective will be to consolidate the Champions League position and further improve the qualitative aspect of the team. It will take some time to get back to winning ways. This doesn’t mean you don’t have ambitions but you also have to deal with reality, which requires the budget to be sorted out. On the market front, everything will depend on the available budget and any transfers. However, the indications are starting to arrive. For the goal the first operation will be Di Gregorio, in the home stretch with Monza for 18 million euros.
Now we need to understand who will start between Perin and Szczesny. In the defensive department the situation is evolving. In this sector the question marks in case of offers are represented by Danilo and Bremer. If high offers were to arrive, Juventus could take them into consideration. In that case the options to keep in mind would be Calafiori, Di Lorenzo and Buongiorno, but not only. In midfield there are no more secrets. The first big target remains Koopmeiners. Juventus have had him in their sights for some time. He would be the ideal player to raise the level despite a valuation above 50 million euros. Ederson is also very popular, one of the great protagonists of the Europa League final won by Atalanta against Bayern Leverkusen. As far as the attack is concerned, everything revolves around what will happen on the Vlahovic and Chiesa front. Also keeping in mind that Kean is almost certainly on his way out. The strong name is that of Zirkzee, who has a release clause of around 40 million euros.
