The idea of Naples is to buy Nicolò Barella confirming Allan. The current edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport puts forward this hypothesis and explains that Giuntoli is not at all convinced that Inter and Chelsea have more chances than his: "A first bid was already made, then there was a raise until 40 million, 10 less than proposed by Maurizio Sarri, but the Chelsea management is not convinced of the goodness of the operation.The negotiation, then, could enter the hot phase in the final days of the market, therefore, at the end of the month. Obviously Giuntoli's intention is to keep Allan and take Barella in order to make the midfield granitic, which also makes use of Fabian Ruiz's talent ".
