Naples, for Deulofeu and Ostigard is played to the downside: the focus is on the loan
The sports director has drastically reduced the amount of wages, as required by the owner: the first goal achieved
Having recently become a father, Cristiano Giuntoli is training the art of patience which is very useful in negotiations. Like a good tailor, he started taking Luciano Spalletti’s made-to-measure suit, but he knows that to fix and finish it he will need it, but in the meantime he is taking the measurements. After all, De Laurentiis’s ilme was clear: first of all, to reduce the amount of wages. This is what the Napoli sporting director began to do before the season even drew to a close: Insigne in Toronto raised controversy but also drastically reduced the “cost of labor” which was further reduced by the farewell of Ghoulam (who boasted one is also important). Furthermore, from 1 July, Malcuit (replaced by the young Zanoli), Mertens and Ospina will no longer be on paychecks. With the latter two, Giuntoli has decided to stall: the lower offers from Napoli were not appreciated but the fact that no other intriguing proposals arrive could push the Belgian and the Colombian to re-evaluate what the blue club has put on the plate. .
INVESTMENTS
–
In the meantime, however, the sporting director of Napoli is not watching because he has put a patch on every hole he has created: Kravatskhelia has practically remained Insigne, Olivera the other ego of Mario Rui in place of Ghoulam. In practice, therefore, the staff would already be such a place – indeed in some departments it would also be like in midfield, where Anguissa was redeemed for 15 million by putting another piece in place. De Laurentiis therefore did not skimp because the Georgian and the Uruguayan cost 10 million each, which is why Napoli’s investments already amount to 35 million euros: a good amount for this poor market.
STRATEGY
–
Now, therefore, is the time to stall and – if possible – to save: now there is an agreement with both Ostigard and Deulofeu but we must then find the one with the respective clubs. The figures are practically defined: 5 million for Norwegian and 18 million for Spanish. However, with Brighton and Udinese we are thinking about the transfer methods above all because Napoli are in no hurry and do not want to expose themselves economically yet. Giuntoli asks the two players on loan with the right or obligation of redemption, but now. Then, however, things could change: an important sale would move the market and also the coffers of Napoli. Koulibaly continues to appeal to Barcelona and Juve as the blaugrana struggle to take Koundé from Sevilla and the bianconeri listen to Chelsea for De Ligt. If Kalidou were to leave Naples then Giunto would be looking for a replacement and would also speed up the other incoming negotiations.
