I know they have been pretty good for a while, but I don't recall them making big purchases, and have made some sales in the meantime. Osimhen was their big buy a few years back. That was a club record fee. Besides that, most of their purchases are 20m Euros and under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Sold high and re invested wisely and now its paying divedens I disagree. They haven't sold high at all. If you look at the departures from this summer, Koulibaly and Fabian Ruiz were sold for well below the height of their market price. Mertens, Insigne and Ospina all left on free transfers. Even in past years, players like Allan and Manolas left for figures lower than what Napoli could have received a year or 2 earlier. They even sabotaged Milik's value by freezing him out of the squad. So this Napoli renaissance has not happened because they sold well or sold high. It is almost as if they stumbled upon this success by chance because they were forced to cut their wage bill. Young players like Osimhen, Kvaradona and Kim were given the chance and are developing into real superstars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Another Serie A note, this one that may affect a Canadian player, the emergence of Rasmus Hojlund at Atalanta has been awesome. I wonder if teams that were looking at Jonathan David may turn their attention to him instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigi riva Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 In todays CL Semi final first leg or the Milan Derby if you want to be more specific it was so cool to see in both teams starting 11 having 7 I talian born players on . 5 for Inter and 2 for Milan . Maybe we are seeing a mini revival of both Serie A and Italian Calcio before our eyes . How in the hell did Napoli loose to Milan in the Quarters . Domani Forza Fiorentina vs Basel .
