While the enthusiasm of the fans invades the Val di Sole with over five thousand fans who fill the stadium, alleys and woods between Dimaro and its surroundings, in his headquarters at the Sport Hotel Rosatti, the president Aurelio De Laurentiis, with his entire staff, is working on several fronts for the needs of the market.

OSIMHEN RENEWAL

The meetings with agent Roberto Calenda for the extension of Osimhen’s contract have been going on for five days. Complex situation also because Mbappé’s turn at PSG opens up new scenarios and there is the risk that the French will come back heavily on the Nigerian center forward by raising the first offer of one hundred million euros, rejected a month ago by Napoli who are asking for double.

HEIR KIM

In terms of the current squad, the best defender in Serie A needs to be replaced and it’s not easy. Kim Minjae went to Bayern Munich leaving 50 million net to Napoli who want to reinvest them in part but not spend excessive amounts. Wolverhampton are asking for 40 million euros for Max Kilman and the negotiation is firm. The profiles of the Greek Kostas Mavropanos (Stuttgart) and the Croatian Josip Sutalo (Dinamo Zagreb) are more sustainable but there is a need to beat the competition from Juventus and Leipzig on these players.

COMPLICATED RENEWAL

They concern the contracts of Piotr Zielinski and Hirving Lozano, expiring in a year with the highest and most expensive salaries for the club. The Pole’s agent, Bolek, is in retreat here: they try to discuss but De Laurentiis offers wages only downwards compared to the over 4 million net received by Zielu. On Chucky, on the other hand, there’s good news: today he trained with his teammates, also playing the practice match. So the Mexican is fine and for him the departure seems the most probable thing, with the Los Angeles Galaxy favored for the purchase.

LORENZO’S DEPUTY

Garcia is evaluating Alessandro Zanoli in training, to see if he’s good at filling the role of assistant Di Lorenzo. The Carpigiano is born in the 2000s and Napoli will probably loan him to Genoa to make him play more. At the same time, Davide Faraoni should arrive from Verona. The external expert’s agent is Mario Giuffredi who is also in Dimaro to discuss the “lifetime” extension of captain Di Lorenzo (the official signing in Castel di Sangro) and also the contracts of Politano and Mario Rui which ask for adjustments.
