Napoli is evaluating various options for the offensive department in view of the January transfer window. Among the names at the top of the list is John DuranColombian striker currently playing for Aston Villa. However, as reported by The Morningthe English club would not be willing to let the player leave during the current season. Furthermore, the valuation of the talent born in 2003 is around 40 million euros, a figure considered not sufficient by the Villains.
Napoli's strategies
Despite the difficulties, Napoli remains at the window, ready to exploit any opportunities thanks to the intervention of intermediaries who could facilitate the negotiation. However, the Italian club knows that it must first resolve the situation linked to Victor Osimhenwhose future is still uncertain. Only after an important transfer could Napoli have the necessary liquidity to invest in a high-level profile like Duran.
The alternative: Zirkzee
Another name on the notebook of the Italian managers is that of Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutch striker, formerly of Bologna, moved to Manchester United in the summer, but his adventure in England could already be over. Sources close to the player speak of a less than idyllic relationship with the English clubwhich could open the door to his return to Serie A.
Napoli could take advantage of this situation to bring forward an operation initially scheduled for next summer. The arrival of Zirkzee, who already knows the Italian championship, could represent a cheaper and more immediate opportunity than Duranreducing the risks associated with a large investment during the repair market.
