Alessandro Buongiorno is at the centre of a lot of rumours at the moment regarding his future, and a report has given the latest updates on his situation.
According to Tuttosport (via Calciomercato.com), Antonio Conte wants Buongiorno at Napoli and in recent days he had an informal chat with him in a restaurant in Turin to reiterate the esteem that he has for him.
The next step is for formal negotiations to begin with Torino president Urbano Cairo who continues to ask for €40m to sell his captain. This asking price is also thanks to the interest shown by Inter, Milan and some Premier League clubs – Tottenham above all – which risk generating an auction effect.
Aurelio De Laurentiis is convinced that he will have the budget available once Victor Osimhen leaves to either PSG or England. The showcase of the European Championships can increase foreign competition too, which is why Napoli want to move quickly.
Torino want €40-45m to sell now and they do not seem willing to accept any counterparts in an exchange deal. The Neapolitans wants to get ahead of the competition and plans to propose an initial offer of €30m.
Calciomercato.com add that Napoli have begun to negotiate the entourage of the player but Il Toro will wait until the end of the European Championship in order to increase his price.
I don’t think we’re going to go for an auction against all these clubs.
As much as Buongiorno seems to be an attractive profile, we might should looking elsewhere.
Hummels, since he’s free is a good deal IMO, we should consider his wage, but looking his quality as a player, his leadership, experience,… he’s totally worth it.
We can’t build a team in the long-terme, with your Matt’s Hummels, in addition to a young and strong CB, yeah the German can be usefull
Lets be honest. Milan ain’t gonna auction. We’re going to get some random guy you’ve never heard of from Ligue 1.
If Newcastle buy Tomori maybe we can pitch in for Buongiorno.
After the Tonali case I don’t think Newcastle is ever going to buy from us.
For me this guy is a centennial version of Romagnoli….
Ummmm ya…..we aren’t paying 40M plus for this guy…
Next
You know what ,if we get hummels Maybe We can Just have a good defense with Tomorrow and him and develop Gabbia and Thiaw.
