Lazio Mainstay Zaccagni Shoots Down Buzz About Napoli

Mattia Zaccagni has been mentioned as one of the options to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at Napoli, but he quickly dismissed the chatter following the Verona game, where he rounded out the result. He spoke to DAZN afterward (via SOSFanta).

“I haven’t heard anything about the transfer market rumors. I love Lazio and want to stay here. I’m very happy with my numbers. My goal is to improve every day and year after year to achieve many satisfactions with this team. The coach and I are on the same page about my role: his style is perfect for me.”

According to Rai (via Tuttomercatoweb), Napoli had tested the waters for Zaccagni. However, he doesn’t want to move mid-season. The Partenopei could offer €30M plus Cyril Ngonge. Bologna rebuffed them for Dan Ndoye as well.

Therefore, the Azzurri are insisting for their top target Alejandro Garnacho, but Manchester United are resisting. The Serie A side has put €50M on the table including add-ons, but the counterparty wants a lot more.

As for the defense, Antonio Conte keeps waiting for Danilo. His wife is pushing to return to Brazil. If his arrival falls through, the team will likely block Rafa Marin’s move to Villarreal rather than search for a replacement like, for instance, Milan Skriniar or Axel Disasi.

Our Take on Napoli and Zaccagni

Their coach surely would like an established contributor who knows the ins and outs of the league, the scheme, and the position. They seem to be searching for somebody on the left to move David Neres to the right as he prefers, but they have to thread the needle to pinpoint the right guy.
