Raise your hand if you would have ever dared to imagine Napoli first in the standings at 71 to contend with Inter for the Scudetto as the 34th day of the championship approaches. Probably not even the most optimistic of fans could have dared so much considering even the epilogue of last season. A disastrous tenth place, out of the European cups for the first time in 20 years and with a team to rebuild.
The best possible choice was to go for an established technician with an unequivocal pedigree. One name in short, Antonio Conte. And it is precisely the man from Salento who has swum in the waters he prefers, restoring body and soul as well as game and nastiness to a team almost in disarray.
And now the Azzurri are fighting for the title and can really reach the big goal. Conte is an absolute guarantee for his unquestionable talents, but the coach is also demanding when it comes to investments. The coach did not digest the failure to replace Kvaratskhelia who left in January and expressed his discontent on more than one occasion.
ADL chiama Manna: Conte sarà accontentato
The Salento coach, precisely at the recent post-Monza press conference, explained how he has bonded with the Neapolitan environment but at the same time calls for the team to be strengthened in order to always aim for the top of the Italian league. In short, Conte is pawing, aware of how it is possible to open a cycle in Naples but provided that new players of undoubted value arrive.

Almost a sort of ultimatum to President De Laurentiis ahead of the season finale and the decision on whether or not to continue together next season. Conte, on the other hand, is strong on the interest in him from Juve and Milan and is ready to raise the bar.
De Laurentiis, however, in no way wants to let go of the coach who could bring him the fourth Scudetto in the club’s history, the second with him as patron. That is why he is ready to relaunch. He has instructed ds Manna to close the first signings quickly, by the end of the season and then make them official in the first week of June, with the window decided by Fifa for the World Cup.
A first step, because the second would be the assent to raising the payroll, lowered precisely with the goodbyes of Osimhen and Kvara.
Napoli, priorità agli esterni: Orsolini ed un talento brasiliano per iniziare
Yeah, but who are Napoli’s first signings? One above all Riccardo Orsolini, at the moment “the hero” of the Azzurri for the goal he scored against Inter on Easter Day. A right-footed but left-footed outfielder, technique and quality, a player highly appreciated by Conte and the perfect alter ego of Politano, who would finally have a spare part to rest.

Bologna is asking 25 million euros but with the Felsinei, ds Manna could instead open a triple negotiation by also including Ferguson and Beukema. The second name, on the other hand, is Igor Paixao, a 25-year-old talent from Feyenoord, a left outside forward all about running, dribbling and scoring goals.
Class of 2000, the Brazilian has already given the okay for the transfer and Manna is working with the Dutch club to try to tighten the deadline and close the deal.
Two shots to start with, but Conte is also asking for a defender, two great midfielders and a level center forward in a reasonable time frame, without having to wait until the last days of the market as in last season.
