Napoli are forced to move on after missing out on Gabri Veiga, who’s headed to Al-Ahli, and plot to revisit two familiar targets, Teun Koopmeiners and Lazar Samardzic. The Spanish starlet will earn a lot more in Saudi Arabia, €12.5M annually, relative to what he had agreed upon with the Azzurri, SportMediaset relays.
Atalanta have so far put up stiff resistance for the Dutchman. The interest of the Scudetto holders seemingly waned due to his price tag and Piotr Zielinski staying. Still, La Dea has inquired with Mainz about Anton Stach, who has similar characteristics.
Samardzic is far more reachable than Koopmeiners for Napoli. Udinese wouldn’t mind keeping him but are open to discussing his sale with new suitors. They had agreed to a €25/30M package with Inter including Giovanni Fabbian.
The Partenopei extensively tracked the Zebrette prodigy in the past. However, they opted to focus on Veiga this summer until the very late U-turn.
Our Take on Napoli, Koopmeiners, and Samardzic
Signing the Atalanta maestro would cost more than the Spanish starlet. If Atalanta repelled Roma for Duvan Zapata because it’s too late, they’ll easily do the same for a more pivotal player. They should definitely go for the Udinese prodigy. They too have some youngsters that could entice the counterparty, like Gianluca Gaetano and Alessio Zerbin.
