Napoli have intensified their pursuit of Fiorentina’s young defensive star Pietro Comuzzo by submitting a substantial €35 million offer. The 20-year-old center-back has become a prime target for the Partenopei as they look to bolster their backline for the future.
Gianuca Di Marzio reports that the bid from Napoli is believed to meet Fiorentina’s valuation of the player, and now all eyes are on Rocco Commisso, Fiorentina’s owner, for his decision on the proposed transfer. This development marks a significant step forward in negotiations that have been ongoing for several days.
While Napoli lead the chase, they are not alone in their interest. Juventus have also made inquiries about the young defender, although they have yet to submit a formal offer. This additional interest could potentially complicate matters or drive up Comuzzo’s price further.
As these developments unfold, Comuzzo’s representatives are currently in talks with Fiorentina’s management to discuss the situation. This meeting is crucial in determining the player’s future and could be pivotal in deciding whether he remains in Florence or makes the move to Naples.
Comuzzo has been a revelation for Fiorentina this season, establishing himself as a regular in the first team despite his young age. His performances have not only caught the eye of top Italian clubs but have also earned him a call-up to the senior Italian national team.
