Here is what writes the well-known journalist and market expert Alfredo Pedullà, on the pages of his site:
Napoli is in a hurry, it wants to make a big market campaign for Sarri and also to launch further messages to Gonzalo Higuain about the Napoli’s project. Let’s start with Candreva: speeches with Lazio were initiated, it is not true that Lotito wouldn’t like to let him go and that he asks too much, actually he realized that perhaps the story with Candreva (required also by Inter) is over. He asks about 25 million euros, but would accept some exchange. For example Valdifiori, but Lotito above all likes Gabbiadini, though his evalutation is high as well, such as Candreva. It is not correct to say that an operation would be in contrast to the philosophy of De Laurentiis, the president wants young perspective players. More simply, it would be the exception for the Champions, just an exception is possible…and in a 4-3-3, very important, Candreva can play on two sides. Vrsaljko: Napoli does not give up an inch, helped by Sassuolo, and it will be so, until the Atletico Madrid does not finalize definitively with Sassuolo. Widmer and Fabinho are alternatives to Vrsaljko. Herrera: difference is a couple of million euros, not six or seven, whatch out, it would be very complicated if an english team tried to reach the player. Vecino would be a priority, but Fiorentina asks at least 25 millon euros. Zielinski is another priority, as soon as possible summit with Udinese. Lapadula: there is optimism, he would like to play a lot, but behind Higuain it is not easy, but the top scorer of italian minor league is intrigued by Napoli solution. And then, we aren’t so confident that he would be only the vice of Higuain. Tactically Sarri can find new solutions. Napoli said to Pescara to be ready to take Caprari and let him in Abruzzo in case of series A, despite an agreement of March, between Sebastiani and Juventus. But the signatures is basic, and currently there are no signatures. Finally, Mammana’s situation is constantly monitored, and about Leandrinho, ’98 class, is appreciated for months, but the dialogue has just started, and today, as you can easily guess, he is not a priority.
Napoli very active, and the market will last for a little while…
