The biggest problem is that he's very hard to sell for a good fee. There are no more China rumors and he's tied down for three more years earning quite a lot.
However, I'm hopeful as well. Part of being a good manager is getting the best out of your players. For years we've watched good players suck for us but there was no Inter curse, there was only a case of bad managers.
I think Conte can turn Nainggolan back into the player he once was. It's not like his body completely deteriorated at the age of 31.
We should not sell Nainggolan, I would rather have him than Kova TBH. Kova could be loaned with option to buy, should not cost a lot this summer.
Nainggolan actually has offers from Evergrande and Jiangsu
I think the board wants to make sure he makes himself available for Conte and his system, and won`t bitch if he`s not playing AM. It`s either China or serious effort. He has to stay, has a LOT to offer. He was laughing at people who think he`s finished :datass:
Contacts continue between Napoli and Elmas, the 1999-born Fenerbahce midfielder. According to Sky, Napoli have been interested in the Macedonian since March and must beat very strong competition from Inter, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
Demand of between €10m-€15m. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that in order for Napoli to put that kind of figure on the table, they must finalize some outgoing transactions.
Eljif Elmas seemed destined to join Atletico Madrid but instead, this soap opera is likely to have more episodes and turns of events. After Fenerbahce had accepted the offer from the Spanish club, negotiation seemed pretty straight forward from there. However, according to Turkish source Fotomac, the Macedonian is taking his time because he would like to join Inter. This firm desire is the result of a conversation with former Inter forward Goran Pandev who advised the player to join the Nerazzurri.
Turkish source, would not bet 1$ on it.
This is the period it`s most difficult to stay calm because nobody knows shit and papers have to sell, so there are a lot of false rumors. I just hope we won`t sit & watch juBentus get SMS, Rabiot and Pogba...
