TOP STORY: Atlanta’s Almada on Napoli’s radar
Napoli are focusing their efforts on an attempt to sign Atlanta United winger Thiago Almada, writes Calciomercato.
The 21-year-old Argentina international, who has also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, Internazionale and Juventus, has been in impressive form in MLS since joining the Five Stripes from Velez Sarsfield for $16 million in December 2021, having contributed to 22 goals in 35 league matches across two seasons.
Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is reported to be looking to build on his success after acquiring Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Kim Min-jae last summer, with Almada emerging among the names at the top of the shortlist for Gli Azzurri.
Almada was part of the Argentina squad that won the 2022 World Cup — becoming the first active MLS player to do so — and looks to be garnering more attention from across Europe following his promising performances.
