Despite the rumors of the last few hours, an official denial comes from Atletico Madrid: no negotiations are underway with Napoli for Giacomo Raspadori. The clarification comes directly from the president of the Spanish club, Enrique Cerezo Torres, who spoke to Napoli Network.
Cerezo: “There are no negotiations for Raspadori today” The words of the number one of the Colchoneros were quite clear:
“Raspadori? What I can say at the moment is that there are no negotiations with Napoli on the table. If there will be in the future I cannot know, but today we have no open negotiations for the Napoli player.”
A position that cools, at least temporarily, the insistent rumors that in the past few hours had given an imminent official offer from Atletico Madrid, with an agreement already reached with the player.
“I don't get into the merits of technical choices” Cerezo then clarified that evaluations on Raspadori's profile are not up to him, but to the technical area led by Diego Simeone:
“I can't tell you whether there is appreciation or not for a very simple reason: I don't get into the merits of technical issues.”
A statement that hints at a possible long-term interest, but reaffirms that - at the current state - there is no formal discussion with the Neapolitan club.
The future of Raspadori remains uncertain In the meantime, Napoli's market is far from closed. After the championship won under the guidance of Antonio Conte, the club is decisively operating on the outgoing front, also evaluating offers for some elements no longer considered central in the technical project.
Raspadori, coming off a season with 6 goals and 1 assist in Serie A, remains an attractive name for several European clubs, and it is not excluded that in the next few days the discussion with Atletico Madrid or other interested parties may reopen.
