After seemingly agreeing personal terms with Canada international David, last night it was reported they had resumed intensive negotiations with Osimhen's entourage instead.

He will be costly, especially as the €75m release clause at Napoli is only valid for clubs outside of Italy, so they'd have to negotiate directly with their Serie A rivals.
Juventus risk losing David option

It would seem Juventus stepping away from David had a knock-on effect, as Marco Conterio of Tuttomercatoweb claims today that Al Qadsiah have started pushing harder to get the former Lille striker.
They are ready to pay €15m in commission to his agent and a huge salary for the player, although the representative is reportedly asking for €25m.
Al Qadsiah had already been heavily linked with Moise Kean, who has a €52m release clause at Fiorentina active from today, but the Italy international is not interested in a Saudi Pro League move right now.

Baroni ‘well aware' of big Torino sales this summer
New Torino coach Marco Baroni 'prefers hard work to proclamations' about their ambitions, and assures he was 'well aware' the squad would sell top players this summer. The former Lazio boss was sacked after fumbling a spot in Europe with a final round home defeat to Lecce, but was not on the market for long, as he was snapped up to lead the Granata. He held his pre-season presentation press conference today and was asked what the objectives were for Torino. Baroni keeping Torino ambitions to himself Marco Baroni signs on as the new coach of Torino 'I think the objectives have to be taken on a day to day basis,' replied Baroni. 'I prefer hard work to proclamations, so I can't wait to get to know the Granata fans and sense their passion. We work and play here for the people. My team must pass on that emotion and soul.' The Toro squad is not quite the one that he inherited from Paolo Vanoli, as midfielder Samuele Ricci was sold to Milan, while goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic has joined Napoli. 'I am accustomed to working with whoever I have at my disposal, all coaches have to adapt to a long transfer window that remains open even past the start of the season,' he insisted. 'Besides, I was well aware of the situation. You cannot keep hold of players when there are opportunities like that on offer. I am in constant contact with the club and we all know what is needed for this team.'
