Napoli set sights on Pellegrini and Cristante | OneFootball

Napoli are said to be eyeing both Lorenzo Pellegrini and Bryan Cristante.

Napoli are in fact looking for reinforcements for the midfield and Lorenzo Pellegrini is the name that the Azzurri management is most interested in.

According to Corriere dello Sport, sporting director Giovanni Manna is already at work, but the operation is not simple.

Pellegrini, in fact, has a salary that is close to 6 million between fixed and bonuses, a figure that slows down Napoli’s ambitions.

Ranieri is willing to listen to offers, but Napoli are also evaluating other options.

Juventus is asking over 20 million for Nicolò Fagioli, narrowing the field of negotiations.

This is why the alternative name of Bryan Cristante emerges.

The Roma midfielder could enter into an exchange with Raspadori, an idea that would be convenient for both teams.

Conte’s need is clear: to add experience and solidity in midfield without excessively affecting the budget.

The feeling is that the contacts will continue until the last days of the market, with Cristante in pole position if Pellegrini stays at Trigoria.
