The Antonio Conte era at Serie A giants Napoli is off to a promising start, with one of the initial tasks being convincing club captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo to stay. Despite having a contract that extends until 2028, the 30-year-old has expressed his desire to leave Napoli this summer. However, the club has made it clear that they have no intention of selling him.
Napoli manager Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com reports that Conte has already had a lengthy phone conversation with Di Lorenzo to discuss his plans for the player in his revamped Napoli team. Despite this discussion, Di Lorenzo seems set on a move to Juventus. One of the key reasons for this is said to be the relationship he developed with Juventus Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli during his time at Napoli, where they achieved great success together.
Di Lorenzo’s agent, Mario Giuffredi, is expected to meet with Napoli representatives in the near future in an attempt to find a solution. However, negotiations may not be easy as both sides seem determined to hold their ground on their positions. Ultimately, it remains uncertain whether Di Lorenzo will remain at Napoli or move on to Juventus.
In other news, Conte has also been tasked with rebuilding the defense at Napoli after their poor performance last season. He has already signed several new defenders and is working closely with them to integrate them into his system. As he continues to work towards building a successful team at Napoli, he will need to balance his focus on improving their defense with convincing players like Di Lorenzo to stay and contribute to their success.
Overall, it’s clear that Antonio Conte’s arrival at Napoli marks an exciting new chapter for the club and its fans alike. With his experience and expertise in coaching top talent and winning championships, there’s no doubt that he will be able to turn things around and help lead Napoli back towards success on the pitch.
