Recent reports indicate that Atletico Madrid is maintaining ongoing discussions with Napoli to finalize a transfer for Italian international Giacomo Raspadori.
Last week, it was confirmed that Raspadori was among the primary targets for Diego Simeone`s squad to bolster their attack this summer. With Enzo Millot having already transferred from VfB Stuttgart to Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League, Raspadori emerges as a more viable and increasingly likely option for Atleti during the current transfer period.
Atletico Madrid Continues Pursuit of Napoli’s Raspadori
Football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Madrid club, often referred to as `the Colchoneros`, is persistently engaging with Napoli to reach an agreement. It is understood that Napoli values the 25-year-old forward at approximately €35 million. Antonio Conte`s team is not under pressure to sell and does not face an immediate financial imperative to offload the player.
Earlier this week, there were claims that Raspadori`s representatives traveled to Spain for discussions regarding the potential transfer with Atletico Madrid officials. Interestingly, Raspadori shares the same management agency as his Italian compatriot Matteo Ruggeri, who recently completed a move from Atalanta to Atletico Madrid within the current transfer window.
