Napoli fails to secure Darwin Nunez due to Liverpool’s price demands

Following Victor Osimhen’s departure to Galatasaray, Napoli has encountered obstacles in their attempt to bring Darwin Nunez from Liverpool as his replacement.

Coach Antonio Conte targeted the Uruguayan striker for his playing style that would create healthy competition with Romelu Lukaku in the forward line. However, negotiations with Liverpool reached an impasse — The Reds set a price of 70 million pounds to release their player.

Facing excessive price demands, Napoli decided to seek more affordable alternatives. As a quick solution, the Italian club ultimately signed Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese.
