The Spanish club is tracking the Italian forward. De Laurentiis is open to selling, but sets the price. The departure of "Jack" could unlock the arrivals of Juanlu Sánchez and Miguel Gutiérrez.
The future of Giacomo Raspadori might be away from Napoli. The national team forward, fresh from winning the championship with Antonio Conte, has caught the eye of Atlético Madrid. The club managed by Diego Simeone has initiated the first contacts, as confirmed by several sources – including La Repubblica and gianlucadimarzio.com – presenting an initial offer of 30 million euros. De Laurentiis, while open to negotiation, values the player at least 40 million, but a deal around 25 million plus 5 in bonuses might not be unrealistic.
A strategic exit for Napoli's market Napoli is closely watching the outgoing market: after Victor Osimhen, Raspadori might also say goodbye. Not only for technical reasons but also for economic ones. His salary is considered high, and his sale would help reduce the wage bill, freeing up resources useful for completing incoming operations.
In this regard, the club has two targets in hand for the wing: Juanlu Sánchez, arriving from Sevilla after a long negotiation, and Miguel Gutiérrez, a left-back from Girona, already secured. Two reinforcements functional to Conte's play and in line with the club's desire to focus on young but already established profiles.
Raspadori: ready for a new challenge? The sale of Raspadori – who in Napoli has alternated between brilliant performances and periods of inconsistency – is not yet finalized, but the conditions for a departure are all there. The player might be attracted by the opportunity to test himself in a different league and with a reality like Atlético, which has made solidity and intensity its trademarks.
In a less fluid tactical context compared to the Italian one, Raspadori could find new motivations and – perhaps – also a more defined starting role. Certainly, Napoli would then have to fill the void left by number 81, capable of consistently delivering double-digit performances when played regularly.
The next few hours will be decisive The situation is evolving. At the moment, it is still in the exploratory phase, but Atlético's interest is concrete. The impression is that De Laurentiis is willing to sit at the negotiating table, especially if the offer approaches the total of 30 million.
In a summer of profound transformation, Napoli is ready to sacrifice even one of its most versatile talents if it allows building a more balanced and competitive team.
