Napoli are evaluating whether to add another man on the right wing and have rekindled their interest in Amar Dedic, who was on their radar earlier in the summer. It wouldn’t be difficult to come to terms with him, but RB Salzburg is driving a hard bargain, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
He’s a club product and has been a regular for two seasons and a change. He has appeared 31 times in the past two campaigns across all competitions. He has scored 5 goals and provided 5 assists. The defender plays primarily as a right-back but can also feature on the other wing or as a center-back in a pinch.
RB Salzburg rejected an opening €12M offer from Napoli for Dedic. The Azzurri are preparing a rise, although they have a lot on their plate. They negotiating also to sign Romelu Lukaku, Scott McTominay, and Billy Gilmour. They have readied a five-year contract with €1M wages for the newcomer.
The Partenopei have shortlisted an alternative: Valencia’s Thierry Correia, who’s also very versatile. He moved to Spain from Sporting CP in 2019 for €12M and has started in 126 matches since, scoring twice and dishing 4 helpers. He has 10 caps with Portugal U-21.
Our Take on Napoli, Dedic, and Correia
They weren’t facing the toughest opponents but things worked out well with Alessandro Buongiorno anchoring the rearguard and Giovanni Di Lorenzo as an aggressive ‘braccetto.’ It’s a strong solution in easier matches. Pasquale Mazzocchi is energetic and pretty decent, but it’s not challenging to find a more menacing weapon.
