Napoli Football Club is taking strategic steps as it prepares for the upcoming football summer transfer market, particularly with its focus on Samuele Ricci, midfielder from Torino. Sporting director Giovanni Manna has been keeping tabs on Ricci, which was confirmed by reports surfacing recently.
Despite the transfer window being currently closed, Napoli is not resting on its laurels. Manna understands the need for significant investment to improve the squad available to coach Antonio Conte. The upcoming months are pivotal, as the club aims to fortify its lineup for future challenges.
Recent reports from Tuttosport indicate renewed interest from Napoli for Ricci, who has been on their radar for some time. Notably, Manna has kept his interests motivated, knowing full well the competition from other major clubs, including Milan, who are also eyeing Ricci's situation. The midfielder’s current market valuation stands at €40 million, which is considerable and presents challenges for any club seeking to make his signing.
The necessity of keeping Ricci from becoming part of any exchanges is apparent, as Vagnati has maintained a stance of wanting cash offers for his talented player.
