Napoli Tending to Several Negotiations Ahead of January | OneFootball

Antonio Conte has greenlighted multiple reinforcements, but it remains to be seen whether Napoli will indeed convince their respective sides to sell them in January. The boss has indicated Patrick Dorgu as a priority, Il Mattino informs (via OneFootball).

The Partenopei would go back to using a three-man defense if they signed the Lecce starlet. He’d man the left flank, with Mathias Olivera, or a newcomer, behind him. On the other hand, the Salentini have dug their heels in about his permanence. Plus, they demand a boatload of money, around €40M.

Conte has indicated that he’d be more than happy if Napoli managed to sign Joshua Zirkzee. They tried last summer already, but his valuation was excessive in their opinion. The striker’s future is in Ruben Amorin’s hands.

Juventus have let it be known that they’ll keep Danilo till his contract expires. Torino don’t want to negotiate for Samuele Ricci either.

The Azzurri will have an easier time buying from smaller sides. They are discussing Ardian Ismajli and Jacopo Fazzini with Empoli. They have an excellent relationship with Hellas Verona and set sights on Jackson Tchatchoua, Diego Coppola, and Reda Belahyane.

Napoli met with the agent of Francesco Pio Esposito, but Inter have no plans to cash in on him. Cyril Ngonge could transfer to Parma on loan as a sort of down payment for Ange-Yoan Bonny, who’s likely to join next summer. Director Giovanni Manna is evaluating Becir Omeragic to bolster the defense. He broke out with Zurich in Switzerland before heading to Ligue 1 in a free move in 2023.
