"I hope nobody leaves, but the best offer could come for Zapata: he said he would stay, then the prosecutors do their job. But I don't sell it for 40 million, we would evaluate an offer between 50 and 60: maybe not he could say no. But first I have to give an alternative to Gasperini. " Thus spoke Antonio Percassi in the Gazzetta, a few days ago. The position of the president of Atalanta has not changed, but the Naples market maneuvers in some way agitate the Bergamo environment. Contacts with Duván Zapata are continuing in the Azzurri and already there is a willingness of the Colombian to return to San Paolo, where he has already played between 2013 and 2015 (while also attracting the Premier League). Meanwhile, we follow the Josip Ilicic track and it is no coincidence that the player has made explicit the desire to aim higher, proving to like the Neapolitan advances. In recent days, the Slovenian prosecutor, Amir Ruznic, present in Zingonia, requested a new contract adjustment. However, the Percassi are not willing to give up.

DUVÁN DOUBLING - The situation of the Colombian attacker could instead have a different evolution. Agent Fernando Villarreal has discussed with the leaders of Naples and there is a willingness to arrive at an engagement, with bonuses, which can reach 3 million euros net, practically double what it perceives. Having explored the land, Naples - which has not abandoned Lukaku, Rodrigo and Lozano - could present a different proposal to Atalanta, given that the former - with Roberto Inglese, rated 20 million by Napoli - did not enthuse Percassi who eventually thinks to realize an important capital gain, given that between the loan (12) and the still to be completed (14) the Samp will have paid the Colombian 26 million, who can see his card value doubled. One player who could move the negotiation is Simone Verdi: Gasperini likes it and in Naples they are willing to treat it. We'll see if the negotiations take off.

WILL CASTAGNE RENEW? - Less blue seems to be the future of Timothy Castagne. Napoli thinks about it, but in Zingonia they want to keep it. De Laurentiis' proposal is the last in a series that began in January, when it was targeted by Fiorentina, Lazio and Hoffenheim, but above all by Celtic, ready with 10 million euros. Atalanta asked for 2 more. Subtle difference, it all jumped to the boy's will. Since then, the third place in A has also his signature (4 goals in 28 appearances). Today it is almost double, which is not impossible for De Laurentiis, who has already hired Empoli Di Lorenzo to define the situations of Hysaj and Mario Rui. Contract with the Goddess valid until 2021 (option exercised in February) with a salary of 550,000 euros plus bonuses, in the past few days the first contact between the entourage and the dt. Sartori to review the current agreement, with an almost triple request. The Percassi will try to please the Belgian, consequently Gasperini: no excellent transfer and 3-4 level purchases for a Champions Goddess.
