The 2024 summer transfer window has not yet officially started but it already promises to be very hectic, both for players and coaches. In certain Championships, the waltz on the sidelines has already started, notably in Ligue 1. But this is also the case in Serie A with the Italian giants in full reconstruction. AC Milan, with the departure of Stefano Pioli, accelerated to recover Paulo Fonseca still under contract with LOSC. And on the Napoli side, Francesco Calzona will leave and his successor has already been found for several days now.
If it has still not been made official, Antonio Conte will take over the reins of the 2022/2023 Italian champion. Free since his departure from Tottenham last summer, the Italian technician is the big favorite and it is only a matter of days before we see him announced. Proof that he is already involved with his future new team, Conte has already started to discuss and work with Giovanni Manna, the sporting director of Napoli. And the first decision of the former Inter Milan coach is clear according to the Corriere Dello Sport : Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is non-transferable.
Antonio Conte appreciates the player
The Georgian international will be considered the major offensive player in the squad next season and Antonio Conte wants to build around him. Unlike Victor Osimhen who is expected to leave, the Neapolitan management now considers that it is very important not to lose a winger of the level of Kvaratskhelia. Antonio Conte wants him to be the man of his project and his sporting director shares this idea. Negotiations to extend it will even resume. And De Laurentiis will be uncompromising on this issue, especially since his club does not really need to sell this summer.
A huge blow for PSG who had made it their priority in the summer transfer window to replace Kylian Mbappé. Luis Enrique believed that the Georgian perfectly matched what he wanted after Mbappé, that is to say an unbalanced winger. The Parisian management had even drawn up a very big offer to convince him to leave Serie A for Ligue 1. As for the Italian press, there was talk of a sum of more than 110 million euros, confirmed by the 23-year-old winger’s agent, saying a contract had also been offered. PSG seems very poorly prepared to enlist the striker, author of 10 goals and 9 assists in 42 appearances this season.
