Tomorrow, ‘Sky’ reports, Napoli will meet with the agent of David Neres, a 1997-born attacking winger owned by Benfica. Valued at around 25 million euros by the Portuguese club, the former Shakhtar Donetsk player is a concrete objective for the Neapolitan club, currently busy with the departures of Cajuste (one step away from Brentford) and Gaetano (Parma-Cagliari challenge).
The expert agent Enrico Fedele recently spoke about Napoli’s transfer market. These are his statements: “What are the misunderstandings I see in this Napoli? It doesn’t have just one, but two, and they are big. The first was known and concerns Osimhen: we were convinced that the table was set and we just had to eat; in reality, it was all a film that didn’t happen. Osimhen is worth half of Napoli. Having him or not having him makes a difference. The second concerns Lukaku. Conte had been made a promise, ‘you won’t have Osimhen’, but the coach didn’t expect us to get so close to the championship”.
It’s still: “It’s Napoli that needs Osimhen, not vice versa. You’ll see that Conte will realize that Osimhen is worth two Lukakus, if not more. Anyone who has been to Castel di Sangro has seen how many headers on Buongiorno, who is a great jumper, Osimhen managed to win: are you so sure that Lukaku would do the same? In any case, Lukaku would be a worthy replacement, it’s not a risk if he came on August 30. Certain players don’t need tactical insertion. Then there’s a problem in midfield. A “Fusi” player is needed, to cover. Because Anguissa and Lobotka together struggle in a two-man midfield. Gilmour would be that type of player, also because I think that Napoli will eventually play with 3-5-2 to have balance and cover”.
