I say that if a club offers you €100m, it is not easy to say no. Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti had a bottle thrown at him after a 0-0 draw with Fiorentina Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti is nearly SLAPPED by a Fiorentina fan after a fiery 0-0 draw in Serie A, as the manager also has a bottle thrown at him while confronting the abusive supporter

A close friend of Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that the Manchester United star will not move to Napoli, amid Red Devils interest in Victor Osimhen.

But given the striker’s potential and age, United should definitely consider a move. “I say that if a club offers you €100m [£85million], it is not easy to say no. They would then have to pay £100million to sign 23-year-old Osimhen. Despite the reported decision from Ronaldo not to sign for Napoli, United should still go after Osimhen – but should try to drive the price down. And given the previous potential of Ronaldo going to Napoli, Osimhen was a prime target. More recently, though, talk of a Ronaldo switch to Napoli has gained traction.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still a Man United player but efforts are being made to engineer an exit route for the game's greatest goalscorer.

United re-signed Ronaldo a year ago from Juventus for £12.86m rising to £19.72m. When Ronaldo returned to Carrington, he was flanked by Mendes for discussions about his future. Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 38 games, was named the Premier League Player of the Month twice, named in the league's team of the season and voted the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for the fourth time. The timing of a story at the start of July that reported Ronaldo's wish to move on came two days before the Portuguese was due to return for pre-season training at United's Carrington training complex. Ronaldo and United players were hit with a 25% salary reduction due to finishing outside the Premier League top four and Ronaldo was also unimpressed by the club's glacial activity in the transfer market. Ronaldo has only started one of United's first four Premier League games - the 4-0 thrashing by Brentford - and was dropped for their two victories against Liverpool and Southampton.

Ever since it has been reported that Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes is trying to negotiate a stunning swap deal with CR7 and Napoli forward Victor ...

MU, the reverse: bad business, stronger on pitch MU, the reverse: bad business, stronger on pitch.” However, if we go into those areas the journalists like to fill in for themselves, then as Osimhen’s agent said, there are no negotiations,” the coach said at a recently held press conference.

Victor Osimhen has been touted as a target for Manchester United and could form part of a deal that could include Cristiano Ronaldo.

“The club thinks of any situation that is of interest to our players,” he told DAZN. “I say that if a club offers you €100m, it is not easy to say no. United have reportedly been weighing up a big-money bid for the Nigeria forward, though those rumours have quietened since their focus switched to signing Antony from Ajax and reports from Italy suggest that the Premier League side would continues to pay the Portuguese.

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti has explained that he confronted a Fiorentina fan because he insulted his mother after his side's 0-0 draw on Sunday.

The Partenopei will be out to protect their unbeaten start to the Serie A campaign. The 63-year-old had to dodge a slap from the spectator as a steward intervened to separate the pair. Napoli are in action again on Wednesday as they welcome Lecce to the Stadio San Paolo.

The meeting of the Napoli hierarchy will also be to discuss a potential two-way deal with Paris Saint-Germain that could see Fabian Ruiz head to Paris and goalkeeper Keylor Navas come the other way. They say that Mendes has suggested the deal to De Laurentiis, but he wants United to pay €130m for Osimhen and loan Ronaldo to them for free, while guaranteeing to pay 80-85% of his salary. The Antony deal is again mentioned as a cause of doubt, but Mendes is said to have told Napoli before flying to Manchester that the situation could change, and Ronaldo is understood to have ‘already given his OK for the move to Campania’. The newspaper claims that negotiations for the swap deal are ‘proceeding’, and that Napoli are open to the idea, given that they wouldn’t have to pay a transfer fee or fork out for Ronaldo’s €29m net salary. Recent reports suggested that a deal could be done with Napoli that would see Osimhen join United for around €100m (£85.36m), and Ronaldo, 37, head in the opposite direction on favourable terms for the Italians. Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti said it would be difficult to say no to a nine-figure bid for star striker Victor Osimhen amid reports of a potential deal with Manchester United that could see Cristiano Ronaldo head in the other direction.

One of the things that made Lucas Torreira such a hit last year was that he was free to charge forward without the ball and press opposing centerbacks. After taking a year away on loan, he’s back and looks like the star we expected 2.5 years ago, leading fans to despair that the club might send him away again. Even though he was coming off a major injury at Genoa, we expected him to pull on a purple shirt and immediately become the 15-goal striker to partner D***n V******ć up top. This anarchic approach from the deepest midfielder—generally the one who’s supposed to play a calm and understated role—was very fun to watch and fits Amrabat’s skill set perfectly. The Viola didn’t have a scoreless draw all season and only failed to score in 9 games; the attack, although it certainly bogged down at times, was never the concern. But after seeing these guys shut down Serie A’s most potent attack, perhaps Italiano can offer a new template, relying on his defense to keep his charges in the game and strike on the counterattack. Christian Kouamé—6: Offered a very different approach to Ikoné and helped the team immensely with his energy and directness. He won the ball again and again in a way that nobody really expected. Was much better on the ball than he’s shown this year, too, making a couple of neat passes and clever turns to keep attacks moving. Made a couple of really bad passes in dangerous areas and miscommunicated with Biraghi about Lozano for Napoli’s best chance of the game. Stuck to the Nigerian like a burr and didn’t give him any space at all while still sweeping up behind. Wouldn’t have minded seeing him in get Livio Marinelli’s face a little bit after the referee’s astounding performance for the final 20 minutes, but in fairness, that probably wouldn’t have helped anything.

Victor Osimhen had a goal disallowed as Napoli's winning run was ended by Fiorentina following a barren draw in a Serie A clash.

In a first half when chances were few and far between, Hirving Lozano knocked the ball to Osimhen, who swept in from close range but the linesman’s flag went up for offside, ensuring that a clash seemingly set for relentless attacking combat would stand goalless at half-time. Anguissa attempted four long balls, with three of them successful, while also managing one shot as 55 of his 61 passes found their target.

Napoli manager, Luciano Spalletti has admitted that it would be difficult to say no to Manchester United if the Premier League club.

The Nigerian has mentioned as an option for United with Cristiano Ronaldo going the other way.

He cares about his teammates, he chases down opposition players to help out and is a very strong focal point in attack. The 23-year-old has long been linked to United, however, it looks to be the case that he will remain in Italy for at least one more year, despite recent reports. Speaking to DAZN, he said: “Osimhen gave his response, via his agent, saying he wants to play the Champions League and he wants to play it with this squad.
