Between missed arrivals and the farewell of Kvaratskhelia, the Napoli transfer market

A complex market session, between shaded negotiations, heavy sales and a future to be planned well in advance.
Giovanni Manna, sports director of Napoli, He took stock in the press conference for the closing of the winter market, touching all the hot themes: from
Failure to arrival of Garnacho and Adeyemmi at the farewell of Kvaratskhelia, up to the plans for the next summer session.

One of these was the non -arrival of Garnacho and Adeyemmi, two names that had circulated insistently in recent weeks: ”
They were credible negotiations, We went close, but we don’t want to create false expectations. Napoli will not do operations outside its parameters just to satisfy the square, “Manna clarified.

On the Noah Okafor case, on the other hand, he denied physical problems: “It is not true that he did not spend visits with Leipzig. He only has to find the condition. ” Similar speech for Rafa Marin, who arrived in the summer but still far from full insertion: “He needs time, but we believe in him”.

The transfer of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG shook the blue environment, but for Manna there were no alternatives: “We could have renewed his contract first, but some extra -football dynamics forced us to the sale.
If a player does not want to stay, it is useless to hold it off”.

The sale of the Georgian, however, will allow greater programming: “This year we can move differently. Last summer we had to wait for Osimhen’s exit, now we can plan with more serenity. ”

The idea is clear:
Napoli will not make revolutions, but will look for functional players. “Dorgu? We treated it for the summer, but if the United makes an out of market offer it is difficult to hold it back. If there is an opportunity like MCTominay, we take it. ”

Another central theme was that of contractual renewals.
For Mathias Olivera the extension is almost done: “He strongly wanted to stay.” More open situation for Alex Meret, but with optimism: “We are not far away, we will meet again shortly”.

The position of Zambo Anguissa, under contract until 2026, is more peaceful: “We talked to its entourage, but there is no urgency”.

Looking to the future, Manna has no doubts: “The market did not end yesterday, she starts immediately. We must be solid, give certainties and remain concentrated ”.

Among the new purchases, the DS has defended the arrival of Billing, a player wanted by Conte: “He needs to adapt to the working method, but will demonstrate his value”.

Finally, a clear message to the team and to the fans: “This Naples deserves only positive words. The choices were shared and the programming goes on. The goal remains to grow and improve “.

The Napoli turned page after a winter market without barrels, but with the promise of a different summer. The sale of Kvaratskhelia opens new possibilities, while Manna guarantees that the company will work well in advance. The watchword is programming, without anxieties and without effects.
