Lotito And De Laurentiis Had A Dinner Together Discussing Transfer Markets And Politics

Dinner in the heart of Naples, at the table of Claudio Lotito and Aurelio De Laurentiis: football politics and the market, are on the menu. The two presidents enjoyed the dishes, but also found time and a way to check on the different players on their respective teams.

It's no secret that Lazio is interested in Mertens. The Belgian has an expiring contract from Napoli and Lotito wonders if the ADL intends to propose an extension for Mertens.

Another name in the notebook is Andrea Petagna, who could leave Napoli in the summer. Petagna doesn't quite have the qualities Sarri wants, but it's an affordable profile in terms of value for money, and he knows the league so well that the Lazio manager demands as many ready players as possible to throw into the match.

The ex-Spal can be included in the wider discourse: Napoli, for their part, has never forgotten Luis Alberto, an old love that can never be approached. Napoli was disappointed by the performance of Zielinski, who could be available in the summer, with Spalletti's 4-2-3-1 needing a playmaker, and in that sense, the Magician could be the perfect profile. De Laurentiis does not want more than 20 million euros, which is why Petagna could be a useful card for the Neapolitans.
