The Italian club Napoli intensified its moves to contract with Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez, the Liverpool player, during the current summer transfer window, as part of his efforts to support his attack before the start of the new season.
Direct personal negotiations
The Italian newspaper “Corriere dello Sport” revealed that Aurelio de Laurentis, president of Napoli club, has himself assumed the negotiation file with Darwin Nunez’s agent, in a move that confirms the great seriousness of the club’s management in ending the deal in favor of the team holder of the Italian League.
Financial disagreement postpones decisiveness
Liverpool set the price of Nunez to 60 million euros, while Napoli offered only 40 million, which caused a gap in financial evaluation between the two parties. But the Italian website, “Football Italy”, indicated that the President of Napoli may raise its offer to 50 million euros in an attempt to quickly resolve negotiations.
The player’s desire accelerates the deal
The Uruguayan striker expressed a willingness to move to Napoli, which may facilitate compatibility on personal provisions and contractual details, and increases the chances of completing the deal in the coming days.
Alternatives presented in Naples
In the event of a contract with Nunez, the Italian Club puts Lorenzo Luka, the Udinese striker, as a first alternative option, as an amount of 40 million euros was allocated to annex it. Federico Keiza also enters the list of nominations, despite the difficulty of negotiations on him due to his strong relationship with Juventus.
Modest numbers for Nunez
Darwin Nunez played 47 games with Liverpool last season in various tournaments, and managed to score only 7 goals, along with 7 assists. He also received 9 yellow cards, in an indication of its offensive returns compared to previous seasons.
