Naples ends its stage in Trentino. A first part of the preseason that did not leave the best feelings for the Southerners after falling against Benevento 1-2 and tied three against Cremonese. The Italians, who will play next Sunday against Liverpool in Edinburgh (Scotland), will face in the next few days against Barcelona twice, first on the 8th in Miami and then the 10th in Michigan. After the signings of Di Lorenzo, Manolas and Elmas, the Carlo Ancelotti team seeks to close the squad with the arrival of James Rodriguez, still a Real Madrid player. The technician exmadridista trusts in the arrival of the Colombian and assures that "everything is open". "There is no optimism or pessimism, let's see what happens. He is a player that interests us. Madrid wants to sell it and we want it. Everything is open."

After the images that have arrived from Italy with the arrival of the agent of Nicolas Pépé, another of the players who are interested in Naples, Ancelotti has stepped out recognizing that Jorge Mendes has also been for Dimaro. "Yes, he is here. I have greeted him. He is a player that interests us, but there are many agents who have also been here last week. The agent of one James came (laughs)." On the needs of Naples, Carletto was very clear: "For the attack we are looking for a player who knows how to connect between the lines."
