Napoli, third wheel pops up between Garnacho and Adeyemi: he’s not an offensive outside player, that’s who he is
Napoli, tra Garnacho e Adeyemi spunta il terzo incomodo: ma non è un esterno – Serieanews
Napoli is expected to play the “mother of all matches” tomorrow, at least in and around Fuorigrotta. Indeed, at the Maradona Stadium comes Thiago Motta’s Juventus, which represents a bit of the color red for the bulls. If every fan were to decide to win one particular match, well, no doubt it would be the one against the hated rivals.
To the super-match Napoli arrives as Serie A leaders, with 50 points and a brilliant game expressed in recent weeks. Juve, on the other hand, has 13 points less than the Azzurri, is fifth in the standings, -2 from fourth place but fresh from a convincing 2-0 win against AC Milan.
While Lukaku and his teammates are busy at the Castel Volturno training center preparing as best they can for tomorrow afternoon’s match and keeping the lead in the standings, DS Manna is working hard to strengthen the squad in this January market. Already three incoming shots have been scored: from Cagliari – in an exchange with Caprile – Scuffet has arrived, from Lecce the promising young midfielder Hasa and from Bournemouth the Danish midfielder class ’93 Billing, strongly desired by Antonio Conte.
Napoli, chi al posto di Kvara? Garnacho o Adeyemi
On the outgoing side, however, there is the farewell of Kvaratskhelia, not exactly the last one on the roster. The Georgian is (was) one of the strongest players in the entire Serie A and flew mid-season to PSG in exchange for a monstrous sum earned by Napoli but mostly by him (with astronomical commissions attached).

It goes without saying that a footballer like 77 must be replaced. And Manna has now been working for days to convince Manchester United to give up Alejandro Garnacho, the prime target. As many as 50 million put on the plate, about 70 – later reduced to 60 – the Red Devils’ request, for a range that is currently struggling to close.
Instead, an agreement has been found with the player for a four-year deal (option for a fifth) of about 4 million euros a year, with the Argentine ready to ignite the Maradona crowd. The alternative, in case an agreement cannot be found with United, is Borussia Dortmund’s Adeyemi.
Another pure talent in European soccer, he has a more affordable price tag of around 45 million euros, with the outfielder who, after an initial refusal and days of reflection, would even open to a possible move to Napoli as early as January. Borussia after all is tenth in the standings and has just changed coaches.
Dall’attacco alla difesa: c’è un nome in pole
Napoli, however, is also looking for a central defender. Spooked by Danilo’s turnaround, who preferred to return to Brazil, Napoli is also looking for a central defender to give the go-ahead for Rafa Marin’s sale, heading to Villarreal in exchange for 4 million for a loan.

In Florence there is that Pongracic who is liked in no small way by the Azzurri entourage but the lily club – which closed the Folorunsho deal with Napoli – does not intend to sell the player on loan. That is why there would be in the last hours the turn to Ismajli. The Empoli defender is technically and physically gifted, knows Serie A very well and has a cost of 8 million euros. More importantly, he would arrive in Naples aware that he would not start as a starter but would willingly accept the role of an alternative.
