Napoli eye Miguel Gutierrez, Marseille move causes concern | OneFootball

Napoli continues to closely follow the evolution of the market in search of the final pieces to complete Antonio Conte's squad. One of the names at the top of the list remains that of Miguel Gutierrez, a left-back born in 2001, who had a high-level season with Girona. The azure club has been on his trail for some time, but the situation could become more complicated in the coming hours.

Napoli, eyes on Miguel Gutierrez: Marseille's involvement worries the Neapolitans

According to FootMercato, Olympique Marseille is trying to get involved in the negotiation for Gutierrez with a surprise move: a swap that would involve Azzedine Ounahi, a Moroccan midfielder on his way out. The French club has offered the Catalans the midfielder's card plus a financial adjustment, in an attempt to beat the competition and snatch the left-back from the Italian competition.

Napoli is watching closely, aware that Gutierrez represents an ideal profile to add depth and quality to the left flank. The priority remains to find a new full-back who can provide greater reliability on physical endurance, following Olivera's injury, but Marseille's involvement - ready to sacrifice Ounahi to get the full-back - risks making the operation more complex. Meanwhile, as TMW highlights, Girona has already rejected an offer of 3 million euros for 50% of the player's card from the French club, considered too low compared to the player's value. But the idea of a swap could become relevant again if the requests for Ounahi do not find a response in other markets: the Moroccan is out of Roberto De Zerbi's project and has already rejected Spartak Moscow, while La Liga remains his priority.
