On Wednesday, we provided an update on what was going in Italy regarding Oleksandr Zinchenko’s potential deal taking him from Manchester City to Napoli.
Waiting until Thursday to agree the deal in case they could still get either Samu Castillejo from Villarreal or Denis Suarez from Barcelona, the Serie A side could now push that deadline back even more, and wait until the very last moment to make a decision on whether the Ukrainian comes in.
Il Mattino on Thursday morning state Zinchenko will have to wait until the ‘last few seconds’ of the window to get the green light from the Serie A side’s director of football, Cristiano Giuntoli, to get his move.
However, there’s also a chance that, despite having a complete agreement with Manchester City and the player, Napoli pull the plug on the deal entirely and leave him at the Etihad.
That would be very cruel from the Italians, who have been pursuing him for quite some time, but such is the transfer window.
Everything can change at the last moment.
