Antonio Conte-Napoli, 60 million operation. Allegri-Juventus, it’s about the exit

Antonio Conte-Napoli, 60 million operation

Antonio Conte and Napoli are increasingly betrothed. Aurelio De Laurentiis has slowed down in recent hours (talking about 10 days to announce news on the new coach), but the negotiations continue and the feeling of some professionals is that white smoke could be reached by the weekend. In any case, it is not one day more or less that will change the state of things: the Campania club is heading towards the big coup in the coaching market. And, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, “Napoli is ready to commit to a three-year contract worth 8 million per year, total bonuses (deal worth 60 million gross, including staff), in order to start again with the best possible coach”.

Then there will be the market to strengthen the team with a significant investment budget, also considering that around 120 million should come in from Victor Osimhen: the Nigerian is courted by PSG and Chelsea (which he could put on the table Romelu Lukaku as a partial technical counterpart). Then we will have to resolve the issue By Lorenzo: the captain seems determined to leave Naples and negotiations with Juventus for an exchange cannot be ruled out Federico Chiesa (contract expiring in one year). But the Juventus player can enter the Campania club’s sights even if Di Lorenzo (who Antonio Conte would like to convince to stay) remains in the shadow of Vesuvius. In defense the dream is Alexander Good morningbut the negotiation with Torino promises to be difficult: Urbano Cairo starts from a request of 40 million euros for his jewel.

Allegri-Juventus, it’s about the exit. The sirens of Al-Hilal for Max

In Monte Carlo the Allegri-John Elkann embrace has led to the hypothesis that there are glimmers of possibility to find an outgoing agreement between Max and Juventus. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the parties are looking for a settlement: the former Cagliari and Milan coach would have asked for 14 million euros gross for him and his staff compared to the 20 million foreseen by the contract drawn up in May 2021 with former president Andrea Agnelli.

Juve seems intent on lowering the figure, but they are working to arrive at the white smoke. Allegri is reflecting on the offer from Arabia: Al-Hilal wants it, a national champion who already has other Serie A stars such as Koulibaly and Milinkovic-Savic in his team. Without forgetting the former PSG star, Neymar. The Saudi club wants to strengthen itself also in view of FIFA Club World Cup in June 2025 where there is the desire to make a good impression and be competitive (among the Italian teams Inter and Juventus).
