Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti offered honest remarks on the prospective arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and Victor Osimhen being available. He talked to DAZN before and after the Fiorentina game.
“Maybe our striker communicated through his agent that he wishes to play in the Champions League. He’s fully integrated in our group and loves his teammate. He’s willing to run down opponents to help them, besides being a top-tier finisher that could play in any team. Having him here is a boon for us.”
Spalletti had stated in the pre-game presser that he would obviously love to coach Cristiano Ronaldo, pointing out that nobody was untouchable, including Osimhen, if a massive bid arrived. He added to that Sunday.
“Since I came here, everybody has been for sale under the right circumstances. I think that, if a team offers you €100M, it’s hard not to consider it. But that’s just my two cents.”
As per Goal, Manchester United are closing in on Antony after initial attempts were rebuffed. They will spend around €100M for the Brazilian winger. The Red Devils would have to pay at least the same sum for the Nigerian star, on top of covering the large majority of the wages of their own ace.
Our Take on Cristiano Ronaldo, Osimhen, and Napoli
The deal would benefit just one person. The Azzurri would throw a grenade into a young locker room and mess up the chemistry and long-term strategy they have been working on. Moreover, Manchester United would pay a boatload of money just to get rid of a player. Despite a giant raise, it wouldn’t be great for Osimhen either, as the Red Devils are far from being competitive at the top level.
