Insane piece of business by the president and Manna.
At first I skim read through this and thought they’d bought him, crazy.
TL;DR dry loan to galatasaray and they only pay his wages
What a move for his career
They can still make deals after the window closed? Or will this take effect in January?
ADL can be a dick but he also can be smart
I’m always blown away by how De Laurentiis does business for his club. He may be outspoken and a bit controversial, but what he’s done and keeps doing for Napoli is amazing.
It’s a good save. Add another year on his contract to ensure we get the 75mil we were asking and we offload his wages from our books for the year, plus there is a clause that the loan can end in January if somebody buys him. So it works all round.
However the whole transfer saga has still be massive fuck up from everybody involved.
A massive loss for the league. Napoli fans are about to see that Lukaku is no replacement for Osimhen.
