Napoli reportedly put forth an offer for Kevin Danso, but they were unable to match Lens’ price tag. The defender is negotiating an extension with his new club. If he sighed it, it would force the Italian champions to look elsewhere, Alfredo Pedullà relays.
The Austrian international could soon get his contract prolonged until 2028. He’d also enjoy a sizeable pay bump. The French side was never lenient about his departure. They already filled their coffers with the sales of Luis Openda to RB Leipzig and Seko Fofana to Al-Nassr.
Since Danso is likely staying put, Napoli will make another attempt for Konstantinos Mavropanos. They are facing competition from the Premier League. His price tag is fairly robust as well.
The Azzurri will have to spend €18/20M to onboard the Greek. The figure approximately coincides with their rumored budget for the position. It’s similar to what they shelled for Kim a year ago.
Our Take on Napoli, Danso, and Mavropanos
They have exuded patience and confidence this summer, but they are already well into overtime to address this hole, especially considering the newcomer will most likely come from aboard and will have to adjust to his new surroundings, teammates, and tactics. It’s fair to take time to weigh multiple options, but the sooner they cut to the chase, the better.
