Antonio Conte’s Napoli is setting its sights on championship glory, with the club reportedly targeting two high-profile reinforcements to bolster their squad. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Partenopei are keen on securing the services of Juventus defender Danilo and Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, both of whom could bring valuable experience and quality to the team.
Danilo remains the primary defensive target for Conte and sporting director Manna. The Brazilian’s versatility and leadership could provide much-needed depth and stability to Napoli’s backline, especially in light of Buongiorno’s recent injury. The club is pushing for a deal before the new year, sensing an opportunity as Danilo’s relationship with Juventus appears to be at an all-time low.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo Pellegrini has emerged as a surprise target for Napoli’s midfield. The Roma captain, known for his vision and ability to contribute both offensively and defensively, is seen as the ideal player to elevate Napoli’s midfield to the next level. Conte envisions Pellegrini as a potential game-changer, capable of dictating play from deep and threatening from distance.
Both Danilo and Pellegrini find themselves in challenging situations at their current clubs. Danilo has lost his starting position under Thiago Motta at Juventus, with his contract set to expire in June. Pellegrini, on the other hand, is facing a difficult period in Rome, with fan discontent and recent exclusions from the starting lineup suggesting his time at the club may be coming to an end.
Napoli is closely monitoring these developments, ready to make their move. The club sees an opportunity to acquire two national team players looking to revitalize their careers. While negotiations may be complex, particularly regarding wage structures, Napoli believes these additions could be crucial in their pursuit of the Scudetto.
The potential departures of players like Raspadori, who has found playing time limited, could facilitate these moves. There’s even talk of a possible swap deal involving Raspadori and Pellegrini, which could benefit all parties involved.
