In the winter market, Napoli signed AFC Bournemouth’s Hamed Traorè on a loan deal with an option to buy.
Last weekend, Gazzetta dello Sport stated the buying option is set at €25m and the Serie A side intend to re-negotiate the price with the Cherries. It was also said the 24-year-old has nine games left to prove his worth, indicating he hasn’t fully convinced them yet.
Si Gonfia La Rete state the possibility of Napoli retaining the Bournemouth man not only depends on his performances but also on the economic aspect.
They say the midfielder has shown some ‘exceptional performances’ and that could convince the Naples club to retain him.
They state it’s set at €20m and the loan fee for six months would depend on whether or not they will retain him. This indicates Andoni Iraola’s side will receive a fee, irrespective of Napoli’s decision on the player.
Meanwhile, journalist Emanuele Cammaroto claims the chance of Traorè staying at Napoli beyond this season is diminishing.
Writing in his column for Napoli Magazine, he said: “Cajuste also disappointed, Dendoncker will not be redeemed, the chances of redemption for Traorè are also plummeting as Napoli has no intention of paying €25m.”
