According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Aurelio De Laurentiis will meet Napoli directors today in a ‘decisive meeting’ for Victor Osimhen, Cristiano Ronaldo, Keylor Navas and Fabian Ruiz.
The Partenopei have completed several signings this summer, but more are expected to come in the last days of the summer transfer window.
All eyes are on the possible deals with Manchester United who are interested in Victor Osimhen. Napoli are reportedly open to selling the Nigeria international for more than €100m and would get Ronaldo on loan with at least 80-85% of his salary paid by the Red Devils.
Ronaldo has given his green light to join Napoli and his agent Jorge Mendes is working on the deal from England. Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti said on Sunday that it would be difficult for the Partenopei to turn down an offer exceeding €100m, but insisted that Osimhen wants to play Champions League football with his current club.
It remains to be seen if United will invest more than €100m in Osimhen and pay part of Ronaldo’s salary following the signing of Antony from Ajax, also for circa €100m.
De Laurentiis will discuss the potential deals with his right-hand man Andrea Chiavelli and Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli today, reports Il Corriere dello Sport.
But there is more on the table for the Azzurri, who also hope to finalise Fabian Ruiz’s sale to PSG. The Spain international has been frozen out of the team after refusing to extend his expiring contract at the Stadio Maradona.
Keylor Navas could move in the opposite direction, but the ex-Real Madrid star needs to reach an agreement over a payout from PSG as Napoli can’t cover his €9m-a-year salary.
So desperate he is to leave Allegri
