West Ham and Marseille have made preliminary inquiries about Giacomo Raspadori, the 24-year-old Italian forward currently playing for Napoli, as the January transfer window approaches its final days.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that with less than a week remaining before the transfer window closes on February 3rd, both clubs have expressed interest in the talented striker. However, Napoli remains reluctant to negotiate Raspadori’s departure, primarily due to the lack of a suitable replacement.
In the ongoing season, Raspadori has made limited appearances, playing 287 minutes across 11 matches in Serie A. His sole goal this season came in a crucial late winner against Venezia at the Maradona Stadium.
Last season, Raspadori demonstrated his potential by participating in 37 league matches, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists. He also made his mark in the Champions League with one goal in eight appearances.
Two years ago, Raspadori played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Scudetto-winning campaign, scoring the decisive goal against Juventus in Turin.
Despite interest from West Ham and Marseille, Napoli appears determined to retain Raspadori. The club’s stance is influenced by their ongoing title challenge and the lack of an immediate replacement for the versatile forward.
