Udinese’s proposal to unlock the Deulofeu deal: Walace also offered to Napoli

There is no agreement on the evaluation of the Juventus number 10 so the Brazilian who is outgoing can end up in the “package”

UDINE. Even in the transfer market there are purchase incentives and, although no one among the experts dares to talk about a “scrapping bonus”, offering something more can prove to be the winning move in order to get the desired deal. Evidently this is how Udinese and Naples are thinking, suddenly finding themselves distant in terms of supply and demand for the possible transfer of Gerard Deulofeuwhich has been running for more than a month.

The Catalan is valued 25 million by Gino Pozzo, the Neapolitan ds Cristiano Giuntoli first offered 13, then 15, rising to almost 18 and inserting some bonuses. In response, “spades” came from Udinese, who then took an interest in the attacking midfielder to add oil to the negotiation Gianluca Gaetano and ad Alessio Zerbin. All while Napoli was asking for light on the jewel of the Juventus home, but with a Neapolitan heart, Simone Pafundi.

The latest purchase incentive (by Deulofeu), this time put on the scales by the Juventus club, now bears the name of Walace. Yes, the praetorian of the median (90 appearances in the last three seasons), the Brazilian who last year liked Atalanta and who a few days ago was proposed at La Spezia, has now been offered to Naples, where he had not really passed. unnoticed, given that months ago the director Giuntoli had asked for information.

It is still early to enter into any kind of perspective linked to a negotiation that has become complex, including offers, raises and potential technical counterparts, but if Udinese has also proposed its midfielder to Napoli, a few hours after having opened the sale to Spezia, it means that the Brazilian is considered unsuitable for Andrea Sottil’s game.

At the same time, the proposal also confirms that the negotiations for Deulofeu are stagnating and that an extra incentive may be needed to move it. On the other hand, the telephone in constant “airplane mode” of the Catalan agent Albert Botines, is already worth an answer to the many questions on the table. We proceed in “silent mode”, after the utterances of a couple of weeks ago, when Botines had anticipated and woven the qualities of his client to the Neapolitan media, then cold by the technical considerations of that Luciano Spalletti who is then responsible for the choices of the field : the silence of these hours seems to confirm all the difficulties mentioned above.

At the moment, the only certainty is that Deulofeu will respond to the summons in view of the rally on Monday. Maybe it will be a day or two late, but they assure him that the Catalan will arrive in Udine to begin the training camp.

In this context, the latest market rumors relating to the Juventus midfielder must be added, where the Chilean central midfielder was compared to Udinese. Victor Mendez (class ’99) of the Union Española. He costs 2.5 million, as Lecce, Cremonese and Elche know, who follow him.

For the attack, on the other hand, yesterday from Argentina the name of Enzo Copetti, a ’96 class center forward of Racing. Thanks to the original ancestors of Friuli he has an Italian passport and therefore would not occupy one of the two slots for extras.
