As soon as the new coach terminates the contract with Milan, he will start looking at his own home, including return loans. We need a goalkeeper, a short winger and maybe a tall one. In between, a lot depends on Zambo’s choices

The counter-revolution is in the facts, because having “thirty players” (cit. De Laurentiis) it will not be necessary to go and buy compulsorily. Allegri’s Napoli will look at their own home, will evaluate Lucca and Lang upon their return, will speak with Anguissa, will obviously listen to the market and then will intervene: a goalkeeper, a short winger and perhaps a tall one; if a midfielder were needed; if possible, a central defender. There are the names, for now, with the awareness that every day – every minute, every second – the stories change.

the defense

Problem (so to speak) number one: the goalkeeper. Napoli has one who has won two championships, Meret, and Allegri likes him; he has another who paid twenty-two million, Milinkovic-Savic, who can be used to raise cash and divert elsewhere, perhaps towards Kovar of PSV who is liked by Manna and the future coach. We will need a defensive side that will make Di Lorenzo catch his breath and the Croatian Valincic and Dodò are among the objectives; but then, in the middle, Napoli would like to take Gila from Lazio, whose contract expires very soon (2027) but which leaves Lotito indifferent, intending to take around thirty million euros, half of which to be given to Real as per the agreements.

It depends on the offers

The future depends on the dynamics of this summer, on the offers that will arrive (for Vergara? for Anguissa?). Allegri likes the midfield as it is, but if one man were to leave, another would have to arrive: Rabiot is the inevitable immediate reference but Manna has been chatting with Benfica for Rios for months. Napoli are in no hurry, they are waiting to receive communication from Allegri about their resolution with Milan, in the meantime they talk to the coach of the future and plan: and with the loans that will return, they try to make up a little treasure. It’s not true that money isn’t everything.
