As the end of the month approaches, Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso is set to become a free agent. Napoli has expressed interest in acquiring his services and has initiated talks with his representatives. The Italian club is looking to bolster its defensive lineup by adding at least two new center-backs to the team.
Napoli is taking the negotiations with Hermoso seriously and is considering making an offer to secure his services. Sky Sport Italia reports that Hermoso has attracted interest from Serie A clubs in the past, including Roma and Juventus. However, it remains to be seen whether he will choose Napoli over other interested clubs.
Despite pursuing Hermoso, Napoli is also interested in acquiring Alessandro Buongiorno from Torino. Buongiorno is Conte’s top choice for strengthening the defense, and discussions are ongoing with both the player’s representatives and the club. Napoli is committed to reinforcing its defensive lineup and is exploring multiple options to solidify its backline for the upcoming season.
Italian club manager Antonio Conte is on a mission to improve Napoli’s defense for next season, and he believes that adding two new center-backs will make all the difference. With less than a month left before Hermoso becomes a free agent, Napoli may have missed their chance to acquire him unless they can close a deal soon.
However, if they can secure Hermoso’s services, it could prove to be a significant boost for their defense. The 28-year-old Spanish defender has been playing well for Atletico Madrid in recent years, earning him admiration from fans and fellow players alike.
As talks continue between Napoli and Hermoso’s representatives, it remains unclear whether the Italian club will be able to convince him to join them or whether he will seek out other offers.
Regardless of what happens with Hermoso, Napoli remains committed to improving its defense ahead of next season. They are exploring multiple options and are taking every opportunity they can find to reinforce their backline so that they can compete at the highest level possible in Serie A next year.
