Antonio Conte already plans together with Manna the team of the future but a first target is about to fade away, there is a fearsome competitor
The announcement with pomp and circumstance after a packed meeting, the dinner to plan the market for next season and the budget of as much as 200 million euros for the next market. In short, Conte’s decision seemed the fairest and most sensible, not least because Napoli is the team that can currently give the most guarantees in every area.

Kevin De Bruyne is in fact already bought, with medical examinations and announcement that could come as early as next week, between Monday and Tuesday when the Belgian will finish his vacation in Ibiza with his family. In attack, then, high-sounding names: Jonathan David already blocked but even the partenopei are thinking about the big shot, that Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon in the sights of top clubs from half of Europe.

Not just the point, however, because the names of Lille’s Zhegrova and Atalanta’s Lookman have also ended up in Manna’s notebook with regard to the offensive left wing, a gap Napoli has been carrying since January, since the sale of Kvara.

If Napoli plans big and aims only for big targets and top players, comes the first disappointment for Conte and Manna. One target may in fact fade away. It is Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United’s outfielder born in 2004. The Argentine star was dealt with at length by Napoli last January, identified by Conte as the perfect replacement for Kvara.
Everyone, then, knows how it ended. The Argentine remained in Manchester, continuing to collect mostly benches until his outburst in the Europa League final while Napoli equally won the Scudetto, albeit with Okafor used with the dropper.
Ahead of the summer market, Napoli has once again turned the spotlight on Garnacho, this time more than close to United’s exit door. The price, moreover, has also come down considerably indeed, more than halved. There is, however, a very formidable competitor indeed for the Neapolitan club.
