Napoli is not only targeting Lookman, the Azzurri have three more targets in the attack: names to satisfy Antonio Conte
One name cannot be enough. Napoli wants to strengthen for next season and is already laying the groundwork for the summer soccer market. One must learn from one’s mistakes, and the one in the last two Azzurri buying campaigns has definitely been timing. The partenopei were slow in operations, both in August because of the Osimhen deal and in January with Kvaratskhelia’s replacement.
Moral. Lukaku arrived very late in the roster, McTominay and Gilmour even in the very last hours. While in the winter we had to settle for Okafor after weeks of negotiations for Garnacho. In short, a similar modus operandi is no longer allowed for the coming season. That is why Ademola Lookman, who Napoli likes so much, cannot be the only name on the list.

Also this morning, Corriere dello Sport wanted to delve into the topic of Napoli’s possible future strikes. Among the players who could wear the Azzurri jersey is Lorenzo Lucca, Udinese striker, who is doing well this season. For him already 10 goals in Serie A with still two months to play. The season of definitive consecration, which has attracted the attentions of Conte.

Eyes are also wide open on Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund. Although the outcome of the negotiations for Garnacho was not positive with the Red Devils, the parties still remain on good terms. The former Atalanta striker is having a nightmarish season and could relaunch himself in Italy, perhaps rejoining a parallel negotiation with the one that could bring Osimhen right to Manchester.
The last name, but not least, is that of Zhegrova. The Lille player fills a wing role, unlike the other names mentioned so far, which are much more directed toward the forward or second forward roles. Napoli could try an assault again after talks in January, which led to a washout, as the French did not want to give him up.
The d.s. Giovanni Manna will have a very important job to do, but this time he will do it with the strength of 150 million budget to invest (Kvara + Osimhen ed.) and the Champions League to be played next year. Two weapons to their advantage that could get rid of the competition or, at any rate, make Napoli an even more attractive place for any footballer.
