Yesterday, we discussed Gianluca di Marzio’s comments concerning Napoli’s interest in Brighton & Hove Albion’s Billy Gilmour, and the Italian writer stated that the Partenopei will make another offer.
This happened after Napoli made an initial bid for the midfielder, which was verified by La Gazzetta dello Sport to be £8 million, or approximately €9.5 million. The Seagulls rejected this. However, the issue is far from over, and Napoli has returned to the negotiation table. Il Mattino (via AreaNapoli) announced today that the proposal to Brighton has climbed to €10 million, which is only about €500 thousand higher than the initial offer.
The former Italian champions are poised to profit from the sales of Gianluca Gaetano.
According to the article, this will enable them recruit Jens Cajuste, a former Chelsea midfielder.
Cajuste is a midfield alternative that they signed last summer, but things haven’t gone as planned, with club sporting director Giovanni Manna seeing the Brighton midfielder as a new option to strengthen up the middle.
