Napoli target Juanlu and Ndoye, Chiesa and Garnacho as alternatives | OneFootball

Naples, strategy defined: summit between Conte and De Laurentiis in Lacco Ameno. Focus on Ndoye and Janlu, but without exceeding budget limits.

Naples, market summit in Ischia: Juanlu and Ndoye are the targets, but no madness. Chiesa and Garnacho are alternatives to the Bologna player

After a significant spending spree of around €120 million, Naples continues to move cautiously in the market. Coach Antonio Conte and President Aurelio De Laurentiis met in the last few hours at the Regina Isabella hotel in Lacco Ameno, Ischia, to discuss the latest incoming operations.

On the table, two clear and long-coveted names: Dan Ndoye from Bologna and Janlu Sanchez from Sevilla. However, the requests from the respective clubs are considered excessive: €40 million for the Swiss player and €20 million for the Spanish player. Naples is not willing to give in to the game of raises and is already evaluating alternatives, without forcing and with clear economic-sporting logic.

Alternatives: Chiesa remains a concrete option For the role of high external player, one of the profiles most appreciated by Conte is Federico Chiesa. Liverpool, which currently holds his card, could open up to a sale around Ferragosto, even contributing partially to the high salary of the former Juventus player. This is a developing situation, with Atalanta's competition still very much alive: if Lookman were to leave Bergamo, Chiesa would become the first choice of the nerazzurri.

The path that leads to Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United is not fading either. The young Argentine did not shine in the last season, and his departure from the Red Devils appears possible. Just a few months ago, the valuation was out of reach, but market dynamics can now open up new possibilities. However, Chelsea has expressed a concrete interest.

Among the profiles appreciated by Conte is also Raheem Sterling, but the obstacle remains the salary: Manchester City does not intend to participate in the coverage of the salary, and this effectively blocks any negotiation.

Defense: a name is sought to pair with Janlu For the defensive department, targeted moves are also being evaluated. Janlu, a Spanish central defender born in 2003 from Sevilla, represents a declared target, but as of today, Naples has not yet made the final blow, both due to costs and evaluations related to performance and physical endurance. In any case, the Neapolitan management is moving to identify a possible partner in the department, in line with the characteristics requested by Conte: speed, ability to set up and adaptability to the tactical system.

A competitive team already: Naples is in no hurry After an intense and expensive summer session, the Neapolitan club is taking the time to evaluate the last moves without pressure. The group at Conte's disposal is already highly competitive, but the goal remains to refine the team without economic compromises.

The next few weeks will be decisive. Between possible sales and further adjustments, Naples wants to complete its market with rationality, maintaining the balance between technical ambitions and financial sustainability.
