Impressive physique, marking, personality and setting. These are the qualities of Luca Marianucci, a talented Empoli defender born in 2004 who has climbed the ranks over the course of the season to become an immovable starter in D’Aversa’s team in the hunt for salvation.
It will be the last seventh with the Tuscans’ jersey for the young center-back, who was promised to be Napoli’s groom. De Laurentiis took advantage of his excellent relations with the Tuscans to burn through competition from Inter, Lazio and even Borussia Dortmund. He has moved decisively and will be the first shot of next season.
Farewell permanently to Comuzzo, then, dealt with in the winter with the negotiation then blown due to Fiorentina’s exorbitant demands. Nine million euros, this is the amount that will be turned over to Empoli for one of the top prospects in Italian soccer. And with Buongiorno, who is just 24 years old, Napoli has definitely built itself the defense of the future for at least a decade.
Napoli has therefore moved well in advance of next season and will finalize the purchase of Marianucci probably as early as the beginning of June, in the window created ad hoc by Fifa to allow market operations ahead of the World Cup for clubs.
If last season the team was completed with considerable delay, with the championship started and in the last days of the market – McTominay and Lukaku arrived in addition to David Neres – this time De Laurentiis does not want to be found unprepared. The goal is to please Conte in every way, removing possible farewell ideas from the coach’s head.

And the coach wants the full team as early as the Dimaro retreat (July 17-27) to work from day one on the full squad. He wants to win the Salento man and needs plenty of time to mold the team in his image and make the dynamics of the game understood.

Ahead of next season there will be at least seven purchases, for a budget of at least 150 million euros that can become even 200. Among the purchases to be made there is undoubtedly a bomber, a deputy Lukaku considering how the Belgian cannot always be employed in a season that will also see Napoli engaged in the Champions League.
If Lucca is a very liked and monitored profile, however, there is another center forward at the top of the list of preferences: it is Moise Kean, Fiorentina’s bomber. The class 2000 center forward from the physical point of view is very similar to Big Rom and also in his characteristics and way of playing he reminds of the Azzurri number 11.
The league’s vice top scorer, already surpassing 20 on the season, Kean is having the best season of his career and seems ready for ultimate maturation. No negotiation with Fiorentina will be necessary given the 52 million rescission clause in the former Juve man’s contract.
The Viola will try to lock him up, but Napoli can guarantee him a fight for the Scudetto and a Champions League showcase. However, there will be a growing competition to beat for the player.
The defense will also see another graft in the central area, a defender more ready than Marianucci, for a department that should count five defenders. In addition to Buongiorno and Rrahmani, as mentioned, and the 20-year-old who will arrive from Empoli, possible renewal for Juan Jesus given the reliability shown in this league.
