Anxiety Napoli, Arab bids for Italian champions
Arab soccer ready to sack Italy’s champion team
There is not only the “Osimhen case” to keep Napoli fans anxious. There is also to reckon with the rich Arab soccer that, by now, has no more brakes and, to the tune of millions, is stealing many stars from European soccer. Now, in the crosshairs, there would be several aces of the Italian champion Napoli.
According to Corriere dello Sport, in particular, there would be three Azzurri players that the sovereign wealth fund PIF would like to bring to Saudi Arabia, namely Zielinski, Lozano and Mario Rui. The Pole, who has also been approached by Lazio, still has one year left on his contract with Napoli but seems determined to get back into the game elsewhere. Ah Ahli reportedly made a monster proposal: 36 million for the next three years.
Lozano is a big question mark. They say in Mexico that he would have three offers on the table (one Arab) and that he has not yet made a final decision: either he renews with Napoli or he packs his bags. The meeting with new coach Rudi Garcia could be decisive. Finally, watch out for Mario Rui. CR7 would like him by his side in Saudi Arabia.
