Napoli: duel with Inter for Remy. Juve: Mandzukic closer
Napoli –who have some concrete chances to qualify for the next Champions League- are trying to reinforce their team for the next season: as outlined by the Corriere dello Sport, the azzurri’s transfer market campaign will depend a lot from the situation of 32 year old goalkeeper Pepe Reina, actually on loan from Liverpool and for whom the Reds require at the moment 5 million pounds; in any case, boss Rafa Benitez needs one defender, two midfielders –one of them, according to Fichajes.net, could be Real Madrid 21 year old Francisco Roman Alarcon, aka Isco- and a backup for his striker Gonzalo Higuain: one of Napoli’s targets for such position is Newcastle United 26 year old Loic Remy, for whom, according to Telefoot, the azzurri are in competition with Inter Milan. President Aurelio De Laurentiis and Sports Director Riccardo Bigon will also have to be attentive to the clubs interested in some of their players: for example, according to Il Mattino, Manchester United are ready to offer 31 million euros or 16 millions plus 25 year old Shinji Kagawa to obtain 27 year old attacking midfielder Marek Hamsik. Also the Serie A defending champions Juventus are seeking a new forward, and seem to have some concrete chances to obtain Bayern Munich 27 year old Mario Mandzukic: according to El Confidencial, in fact, Chelsea –also interested in the Croatia international- have found an agreement for Atletico de Madrid 25 year old Diego Costa.
