Napoli are reportedly keen on securing a deal for Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto, and could propose a swap deal. Calciomercato report how following the arrival of new sporting director Giovanni Manna, the Partenopei have a lot of work to do on the transfer front.
Immediate attention is expected to turn to sorting out the coaching situation, which is expected to be unveiled soon by president Aurelio De Laurentiis. After that, it’s time for the transfer market, where changes are expected, especially to fill any gaps left by departures.
One potential departure is Piotr Zielinski, and Napoli are already in search of a quality player capable of linking midfield and attack. Luis Alberto is considered a worthy replacement and is currently valued at €15 million by Lazio President Claudio Lotito.
The Spanish midfielder is reportedly ready to bid farewell to the Biancocelesti, and with Lazio reportedly interested in striker Giovanni Simeone, Napoli may offer a direct swap deal.
Calciomercato outline how negotiations could lead to an agreement where the Spanish player heads to Napoli while the Argentine joins Igor Tudor’s team. Both parties are reportedly considering the Simeone -Luis Alberto swap seriously as it could be advantageous for all involved.
