Napoli, 55m for Nunez: LIV resists and says no. Lucca remains an alternative

Manna still pushes for the Uruguayan who remains the number one objective 

Days go by but Napoli's ideas on the front of the first striker do not change. The Azzurri, who remain ahead of everyone for Lucca despite the inclusion of Milan, still consider the Udinese striker a B option compared to Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan, leaving Liverpool, has been Manna's favorite for weeks, who in recent days presented an offer to the Reds: 50 million euros plus 5 in bonuses. An important proposal that is still not close to the 60 that the English Champion club wants to sell the former Benfica player.

Darwin, who is willing to embrace Napoli's project to work with Conte, would earn around 5-6 million euros per season, almost the same amount guaranteed to Kevin De Bruyne . However, less than Romelu Lukaku, the highest paid player in the squad: the 32-year-old striker earns a whopping 7.6 million annually. Meanwhile, DS Manna, while pushing to break down Liverpool's resistance for Nunez, has now secured Beukema and Lang. It's a different story for Ndoye: negotiations with Bologna have cooled down for now.

Still for the attack, it is clear that a lot will depend on the departure of Osimhen : the Nigerian has chosen Galatasaray but the Turks, at the moment, have no intention of paying the 75 million euro release clause.
