Naples: Kim leaves, doubt Osimhen. Ideas Koopmeiners, Scalvini and David

Let’s try to assemble the Naples that will be, that of Garcia. Logically the base remains the one that won the Scudetto but there will certainly be something to integrate or change. Because in any case Kim Minjae will leave, with probable destination in Germany, exercising the clause that will allow him to free himself in the first fifteen days of next July. So he will need a strong central defender. In addition, there is the Osimhen question which will hold the stage for at least a month, given the various interests that the very strong Nigerian center forward arouses among the big internationals. The president De Laurentiis has so far postponed the interview with the agent Roberto Calenda, to first resolve the question of the technical guide, now we will begin to discuss to understand if there is room to extend the contract, even by just one year (expiration 2025) , or the essential offer will come from England, France or Germany. The president and his new coach have begun to talk about it: Garcia is open to accepting the situations that will arise but he has given some indications.

Which is worth qualifying for the Champions League for an Italian club. This will be the real capital gain to be put into Napoli’s next balance sheet for the sale of Kim, who is now closer to Bayern Munich who outbid Manchester United. After all, if Napoli hadn’t included the clause requested by the agents a year ago – the one that will allow him to be able to change shirts by paying compensation – the player would never have come. So the operation remains excellent. Kim, the best defender in Serie A, was paid 18 million to Fenerbahce last year. Whether it ends up in Germany rather than in England – Bayer seems to have offered 10 million euros net for the signing of the Korean who will quadruple his salary – little changes for Napoli who will collect about 60 million from the clause, more than triple what was spent . This is because the clause starts at 40 million and has a parameter that makes it rise, linked to the turnover of the acquiring club. United and Bayern are close to 700 million: this is how we arrive at the 60 million. A forty million capital gain, what entry into the Champions League is worth.

Investments

So at the conclusion of this operation, Napoli will have a large treasure to reinvest on the market and maybe not just for a defender. The list of players followed is long and the club must decide who to bet on. The number one on the list is Giorgio Scalvini, 19 years old and already excellent experiences in Atalanta and also in the national team, currently left in the Under 21 for the European Championship and Olympic qualification. The Bergamo club values ​​him at over 30 million, but De Laurentiis will talk about it at the right time with Percassi, if a concrete negotiation is reached. Garcia knows Lens’ Austrian Danso well, and he wouldn’t mind. Not to be overlooked is Feyenoord’s Slovakian David Hancko who “exploded” in the Eredivisie. And then the Japanese from Germany should not be forgotten: Ito from Stuttgart, and Itakura from Borussia Borussia M’glabach. Interesting profiles. Part of Kim’s treasure could also be used to invest in midfield (Garcia has already coached Anguissa in Marseille), where the Dutch Koopmeiners of Atalanta and the emerging Spanish, born in 2002, Gabri Veiga of Celta Vigo are popular. for over one hundred million euros Osimhen, the lights – in agreement with Garcia – would focus on the Canadian from Lille Jonathan David, born in 2000, who replaced the Nigerian in the French club and who, in addition to winning a League 1, scored already 52 goals in 112 league games.

Simeon redeemed

Meanwhile at Cholito yesterday the most eagerly awaited news arrived in Beijing – where he is with the world champion national team. Napoli has completed the redemption of the card with Verona, paying 12 million, after the 2.5 on loan. The center forward has therefore signed a new contract until 2026 with an option in 2027 for a salary of 2 million net plus bonuses per season.
