Napoli, Atlético Madrid eye up Raspadori: Napoli open to talks | OneFootball

Napoli’s transfer market is heating up, including on the outgoing front. After moves to strengthen Antonio Conte’s squad, a clear signal now arrives from Spain: Atlético Madrid has set its sights on Giacomo Raspadori.

Napoli, Raspadori in Atlético Madrid’s Sights: Napoli Opens to Dialogue

According to Sky Sport, the Colchoneros have made an initial exploratory inquiry for the striker born in 2000, who is coming off a championship-winning season with the Azzurri.

Napoli’s Valuation Napoli is starting with a demand of 30 million euros, but the Neapolitan club has expressed its willingness to negotiate, opening up to the possibility of a sale for 25 million plus 5 million in bonuses. The amount is considered fair for a young player with international experience who is already accustomed to a competitive environment like Serie A.

Raspadori, who joined Napoli from Sassuolo in 2022, has alternated between impressive performances and periods of decline, but he still made his mark in the recently concluded season, contributing to the league title under Antonio Conte’s guidance. His ability to play both as a second striker and as an attacking winger makes him an interesting profile for a coach like Diego Simeone, who is always looking for versatile players with strong tactical qualities.

The Context of the Negotiation At the moment, it is only a first contact, but Atlético’s interest is real. The departure of some attacking players and the need to rejuvenate the forward line are pushing the Spanish club to seriously consider the move. For its part, Napoli does not consider Raspadori untouchable, especially if an adequate offer arrives and if the management manages to secure at least one of the planned incoming transfers.

An Important Juncture for Raspadori’s Future The possibility of moving to La Liga, to a top club like Atlético Madrid, would represent a significant step in Raspadori’s career, who is already part of the senior national team setup. However, the striker remains committed to Napoli’s project, and his transfer will also depend on the technical guarantees offered to him by his potential new club.

Upcoming Developments At the moment, there is no advanced negotiation, but the next few hours will be decisive in understanding whether Atlético’s inquiry will turn into an official offer. The feeling is that Napoli, while not needing to sell, is willing to listen to concrete proposals, provided they are consistent with the player’s value.

A new possible scenario, therefore, is opening up on the transfer front. And Giacomo Raspadori could become one of the hot names of this summer window.
