Napoli plan to activate Simeone buy option - Football Italia (Football Italia)

Giovanni Simeone has already proven himself to be a useful part of Luciano Spalletti's Napoli squad and his future at the club is reportedly not in doubt.

Considering that Simeone has only scored three times in the league for Napoli, this condition will likely not be met, but the club want to keep him regardless. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Simeone has impressed Napoli and the club plan to activate his €12m buy option in the summer, as the conditions to make it obligatory are unlikely to be fulfilled. He’s scored eight goals in 533 minutes of action across all competitions so far this season.

Napoli owner says Osimhen is not for sale to Bayern (Bavarian Football Works)

Presidents of football clubs usually talk a lot about keeping a player only to sell them a little later, but not when it comes to Napoli.

“Our players are in demand, but I don’t have to sell anyone. Among the names linked to Bayern to fill the void at striker is Osimhen. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has done far better than anyone would have expected in replacing the Polish superstar, but the feeling that Bayern could still upgrade in the position remains.

“Osimhen is not for sale” – Napoli president warns suitors (Soccernet.ng)

Napoli President Aurelio de Laurentiis has warned potential suitors that the club is not willing to sell Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

One sure thing is, for Napoli to let go of their star hitman, they would milk enough from any suitor. Manchester United lack adequate quality in front of goal, as Antony Martial is yet to prove his mettle. Also, the 24-year-old hitman has managed to stay fit. He is valued at around €120 million. Osimhen has been spectacular for Napoli since last season. Osimhen has been spectacular for Napoli since last season, and a lot of top clubs have eyes on him

Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are back in the starting XI after being benched for the La Liga clash vs Mallorca over the weekend. Meanwhile, Al Ahly had to see off challenges from Auckland City and Seattle Sounders to book a place in the final-four stage. Eduardo Camavinga, meanwhile, continues to operate as a makeshift left-back for Real Madrid. Given that just over two years remain on his deal, the time to negotiate a transfer seems to be right. Los Blancos have a midfield signing as their top priority for the summer transfer window, especially given the uncertain futures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. With 21 games having been played so far in the Italian League, the Partenopei sit atop the standings with a gargantuan 56 points to their name.

Napoli vs. Cremonese Predictions, Betting Tips and Odds (Football Italia)

This weekend's Serie A action features a clash of extremes, as these Napoli vs. Cremonese predictions pit the leaders against the bottom club.

You can stream Napoli vs. Emanuel Aiwu and Michele Castagnetti could be among the rotations as they look to prevent a mauling away from home this weekend. There seems to be no stopping Spalletti’s title hunters, as Cremonese could find out on Sunday. Cremonese have not kept an away clean sheet so far this season and their relegation fate looks to be almost sealed. However, that frustration on Napoli’s part is expected to be made up for this weekend, as they host Cremonese once again. Despite being rock bottom of the Italian top flight, Cremonese produced a huge shock in Naples in the Coppa Italia, by beating Luciano Spalletti’s side on penalties and ending their chances of a double or treble this season.

Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a summer bid for the in-form Napoli marksman or Harry Kane. The graphic below shows how Osimhen is stationed exclusively as a central striker for Napoli and remains the lead, focal point for his side - but he has also tracked back for defensive duties during deeper passages of play. When it comes to goals, expected goals and touches in the opposition box combined, Osimhen is out on his own when compared against every player in the division - with ratios soaring clear of his closest rivals: Dusan Vlahovic and Ademola Lookman.

Dusan Vlahovic had been linked with a move to London last year with Arsenal pursuing a deal for the Serbian forward before he opted to sign for Juventus. Toney has impressed for Brentford in the Premier League and has taken his game to a new level this season.

Thuram would be a good option due to his versatility and having scored 13 goals in 20 appearances, he has shown he is capable of scoring regularly. This leaves Potter with just Kai Havertz and loanee Joao Felix as options at striker, highlighting the need for a new forward in the summer. Chelsea will have done plenty of scouting and research into a number of different options ahead of the summer, with Osimhen emerging as their number one target.
