NAPLES – The extraordinary season of Atalanta has not gone unnoticed by parts of Naples. Carlo Ancelotti asked for two players from the "Goddess", striker Josip Ilicic and external defender Timothy Castagne. Ilicic is considered an incedibile from the Atalanta in case of qualification to the next Champions League, while Castagne would be expendable because the Atalanta has already identified his substitute in Lazzari of the Spal (soccer player that has also debuted in National).
Napoli wants the two players of Atalanta to improve a squad that is already very strong.
Meanwhile, reaching an agreement with Atalanta, Napoli has already reached an agreement with both Timothy Castagne and Josip Ilicic. The company from Campania has convinced Josip Ilicic by putting on the scales a three-year contract worth 2.2 million per season. The company from Campania also convinced Timothy Castagne by offering a 5-year contract worth 1.5 million per season to rise.
With the players everything is ok but now there is to convince Atalanta. The Neapolitan company would like to buy Ilicic by offering 12 million euros. For Atalanta it is non-transferable and could consider selling it only in front of an offer of at least twenty million euros. The Chestnut contract expires in June 2020. The Campania company would like to buy it by offering between 12 and 15 million euros. The situation is more open than ever.
