Fernando Llorente could sign for Napoli in the coming days and there are those who wonder whether Carlo Ancelotti's team really needs another striker. Question justified by the fact that the Azzurri already have Milik, while Mertens is already widely tested in the role - as he brilliantly confirmed in Florence - and call it "false nueve" there is almost the risk of a lawsuit, considering the myriad goals scored by the Belgian as a center forward.

WHY THIS CHOICE - But if Ancelotti gave a precise indication to De Laurentiis and Giuntoli, it is because he has something specific in mind. With the arrival of Hirving Lozano (Tuesday at 12.30 pm the presentation press conference is scheduled) the coach has acquired a striker with characteristics somewhat different from those of the players already in the squad, that is one with more leg, capable of giving depth action. But in certain situations, with particularly closed defenses, perhaps he can serve a skilled one in the aerial game, more than Milik himself is. Ecco Llorente is the alternative to Polish with different characteristics. The Spaniard is more of an area player, and above all he has an international experience that he and Tottenham put heavily on the field (remember the Champions League semi-final with Ajax? It was decisive). In short, a tactical weapon, an alternative, more than you would not like to have at Ancelotti. In a few days we will know if even this piece will be placed at home in Naples, after an intelligent market aimed at reinforcing an already solid and competitive group.
