Antonio Conte, the head coach of Napoli, is making strategic moves to ensure the success of the team in the upcoming 2024-25 season. One of his key requests is to sign Amar Dedic from RB Salzburg and bring in free agent Leonardo Spinazzola, whose contract with Roma is coming to an end.
Conte is looking to shift the team’s tactical formation to a 3-4-3 setup, and he has been in discussions with director Giovanni Manna and President Aurelio De Laurentiis to make this transition smooth. According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio from Sky Sport Italia, Conte has specifically highlighted the need for strong players on the wings.
Amar Dedic, a talented 21-year-old from Bosnia and Herzegovina, is being eyed for the right flank position. While there were previous links of Dedic potentially joining Inter, those rumors have faded, making Napoli a potential destination for the young winger. On the other hand, Leonardo Spinazzola is seen as a viable option for the left flank. Conte has worked with Spinazzola during their time with the Italy national team and was close to signing him at Inter as well.
Spinazzola’s contract with Roma is set to expire on June 30, making him a free agent this summer. Despite facing a challenging recovery from an Achilles tendon injury, Spinazzola showcased his skills as one of the standout performers for Italy during EURO 2020.
These strategic moves by Conte reflect his vision for Napoli’s future success. By bringing in talented players like Dedic and Spinazzola to strengthen the wide roles in the team, Conte aims to implement his preferred tactical formation effectively. Napoli fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead as the team gears up for the challenges that lie ahead in the Serie A.
