Darwin Nunez (CF/LW) to Al Hilal/Atletico/Napoli

Good luck to him if the deal is completed. On the one hand, I was hoping for a bigger fee from the Saudis. But then on second thoughts, Napoli are a big club, a passionate club in a nice part of Italy. Just crowned champions too. It seems like a good fit for Darwin and I wish him well.

Obviously we can’t accept a ridiculous fee or structure, but Hughes is well placed to look after our interests, and his Italian background will serve us well in this deal too.

Get it tied up, probably one or two other exits coming up too, perhaps more, and get a new striker in and a central defender.

Any price is fine for them if it doesnt need to get paid any time soon, if at all.

Thing about Nunez is that a lot of the really great coaches have ego.

And Conte has quite a large ego at that.

I can just about see him pressurizing Napoli to get the Nunez deal done because he feels that he’s good enough to do better than Jurgen.

I quite respect that in a coach.

It’s clear that Nunez has great potential. At this point , the ego of the coach probably kicks in.

Conte pressing Napoli to sign Nunez because his ego wants to prove he’s better than Klopp, or can get more from Nunez than him…

What?
