Napoli are now in the race for Turin defender Alessandro Buongiorno, who is a moving target for Inter Milan and AC Milan.
The 24-year-old is a young product of Granata who has risen through the ranks of the club to become a mainstay of the first team.
The Italian’s exploits this season have earned him the popularity of Luciano Spalletti, who brought him into the Italian national team.
That’s why Inter are keeping an eye on the left-footed defender. He is one of the profiles that the Nerazzurri are keeping a close eye on to strengthen Simone Inzaghi’s defence ahead of next season.
However, Serie A officials will face a tough party over the player’s signing.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport FcInterNews, Napoli are also vying for Buongiorno’s favor.
The Partenopei are looking for a defensive reinforcement as they have been particularly fragile at the back this season.
In addition to Napoli, foreign clubs may also come into play for the Italian international. In recent days, there has been talk of Atletico Madrid’s interest in the player.
Therefore, due to the increasing number of suitors, Turin has raised its asking price. Its current valuation is between €35 million and €40 million.
The Granata may continue to have a strong influence on the negotiations, as they have tied the player to a contract valid until 2028.
It should be noted that the source claims that Napoli are also keeping an eye on Atletico Madrid’s Mario Hermoso.
The defender will leave the Spanish capital when his contract expires this summer. The 28-year-old is on Inter’s shortlist.
However, the Spanish foreigner does not have an easy high salary, which can discourage his Italian suitors.
