Ancelotti has clear ideas for his Naples market: they need players with a high technical rate and international experience. This is why the two most popular names remain James Rodriguez and Mauro Icardi. For the midfielder there was a sharp slowdown: the Real does not fall below the request for 42 million euros, De Laurentiis does not offer more than a loan. The Neapolitan president waits, counting on the will of the player to return to Ancelotti and on the fact that for the Atletico Madrid the South American is at most an alternative, not the first name on the list. As for Icardi, a first contact with the attacker led to an offer of €7 million per season. The Neapolitans do not want to talk too soon with Inter, fearful of setting off an auction with Juventus. The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, definitely prefer Campania to Piedmont as a destination for the former captain. In short, it will be a hot August in the Napoli home market.
