Luca Marianucci and Kevin De Bruyne to start. All that is missing are the official announcements that will come only after they pass the medical examinations but these are pure formalities for both. For the defender everything is done with Empoli: nine million plus one bonus to the Tuscans and a multi-year contract for the young defender who will take Rafa Marin’s place in the Azzurri’s roster.
For the Belgian midfielder, on the other hand, also settled the details regarding image rights. A two-year 5.5 million euro deal with an option for a third season and a rich signing bonus is ready for the man who is called one of the strongest and most incidental midfielders in the world.
In short, a real top player with international caliber who can bring experience to a team aiming to confirm itself in Italy by defending the Scudetto and to do well in Europe. Marianucci and De Bruyne the first two strikes of a market that promises to be crackling, also because at least eight new faces are expected in Naples, which can become even 10.
Napoli, dalla difesa all’attacco: quanti rinforzi per gli azzurri
Every role will be reinforced, starting from the goal with Meret getting a new deputy (there is even talk of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has already been dealt with by the Azzurri in the past) to the attack, with Lukaku’s alter ego. And in this regard, the ideas seem to be very clear as far as managers and beyond are concerned.

In defense, some intermediaries have offered the Azzurri Tomori, who is leaving AC Milan: an option that Castel Volturno is considering given the quality of the Nigerian-born English center-back, but at the moment the focus is solely on Beukema. The Bologna defender has opened to the transfer and although there is to be negotiation with the Felsinei, even for the bookmakers it seems a done deal.
In fact, his purchase is quoted at 2.50 times the stake, the third-highest value purchase by betting agencies that already see the Dutchman in blue. It goes up slightly, to 2.75 times the stake, for Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United’s Argentine outfielder.
A pupil of Conte who would have wanted him in January, the South American has remained in the Premier but has broken with Amorim and is on his way out. Manna can try again by bringing to the Azzurri six months late a player of great quality and just 21 years old all at a much lower figure than the Red Devils demanded in January.
Non solo Frattesi: in arrivo un top player in attacco
However, there are two players who now seem close to wearing the blue jersey. The first is Jonathan David, even quoted at 1.85 times the stake. Evidently, bookmakers do not believe rumors of a slowdown for the Canadian in favor of Parma’s Bonny.

It seems, however, that Napoli is now close to signing the bomber, who will be released by Lille on June 30. David, then, will be Lukaku’s alter ego and will be a Napoli player on a par with Marianucci, De Bruyne and Davide Frattesi. Oh yes, it is the former Sassuolo man who is the other name in pole to move to the Azzurri next summer.
A transfer from him is quoted at 2.50 times the stake, a lower price after the midfielder’s outburst over the bench in the Champions League final. Returning to goalkeepers, however, Donnrumma’s suggestion, quoted as much as 15 times the stake. It really seems that Gigio the Azzurri jersey is not destined to wear it.
