Loan to Turkey topic
A door has apparently opened for Diego Demme (31) to leave SSC Napoli. The German professional, who played 20 minutes in three short appearances this season, has been associated with a transfer for a long time and could now switch to Turkey. According to consistent media reports in Italy, among others, by “Sky sports” and the Edited by transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio Napoli has a loan offer with an option to buy from Adana Demirspor. It is said that the Turks are still waiting for a response from Naples and Demme.
“Bild” reported in mid-December that Demme wanted to play regularly again. Born in East Westphalia, he moved from RB Leipzig to Naples in January 2020 for more than 10 million euros and was initially a regular there under the then coach Gennaro Gattuso, before he has increasingly been on the bench since the coach change in the summer of 2021 to Luciano Spalletti . A foot injury that Demme suffered earlier this season and kept him out of action for several weeks did the rest.
“Demme fit better into Gattuso’s system, which was more defensive. There he played in a 4-3-3 behind two creative players in central midfield. In Spalletti’s 4-2-3-1, on the other hand, you need two powerful sixes who understand how to position themselves without the ball,” says Aniello Luciano, Lead of Content Italy at Transfermarkt. Demme would lack these qualities, says the expert.

In addition to Adana, Demme should be in the focus of other clubs. According to reports, there have been talks with AC Milan, while US Salernitana is trying to make a transfer, but cannot pay the rumored salary of 3 million euros. FC Valencia should also show interest with ex-coach Gattuso. Demme is under contract with Napoli until 2024.
