Hamed Junior Traorè (23) strengthens SSC Napoli, who are slipping, for the second half of the season. On Wednesday evening, the reigning Serie A champions confirmed their loan move from AFC Bournemouth. There is a purchase option.
According to a previous report by transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, the purchase option agreed by last year’s Italian champions and the Premier League team is worth 25 million euros. Bournemouth had only signed the attacking midfielder last summer after a previous loan from US Sassuolo and paid more than 25 million euros for the transfer. In his first ten months on the English south coast, the Ivorian had to struggle with several injuries and absences due to illness. In total, only 13 competitive games have resulted in a goal. the AFC did not mention a purchase option.
For Napoli, the season after winning the championship has proven to be difficult. The coach Rudi Garcia, who was brought in at the start of the season, had to resign in November after 16 games and a points average of 1.75 points; his successor, Walter Mazzarri, only managed four wins from the first eleven games. On Saturday, the club won 2-1 against bottom side Salernitana with a goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Even though they survived the group phase of the Champions League, qualification for international business via the league is in danger. In the cup, the champions failed prematurely in the round of 16 against newly promoted Frosinone. Since September 2023, the club has lost around 90 million euros in squad value as a result of the weak season (for statistics).
