Roma Make First Proposal for Napoli's Manna

Roma have formally submitted a proposal to Napoli Sporting Director Giovanni Manna, seeking to appoint him as their new sporting chief ahead of the summer campaign.

The Giallorossi, represented by the Friedkins and manager Gian Piero Gasperini, met with Manna, describing the discussions as positive. However, securing the executive remains complicated as Manna is tied to a three-year contract. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has reportedly set a €10 million release fee.

While Roma explores this high-priced option, alternative targets like former Juventus director Fabio Paratici (Giuntoli) and Giuseppe D'Amico remain on the table, though D'Amico has not yet been contacted. michezonews.co.za
