Napoli had a proposal of about 40 million euros rejected in January but are ready to try again soon. Shakhtar's CEO, Palkin, has started sending signals of an auction: 'Napoli had a unique opportunity to buy him for 50 million plus bonuses in January and let it slip away, in the summer it will not be enough'

Napoli is planning to return to negotiations with Shakhtar Donetsk for Georgiy Sudakov, a 21-year-old Ukrainian star, after a failed attempt in January despite a super offer of 40 million. The Shakhtar CEO, Palkin, began to send signals of an auction: 'Napoli in January had the unique opportunity to buy him for 50 million plus bonuses and let it slip away, in the summer it won't be enough', he said a few weeks ago, also alluding to a strong interest from Chelsea for the player. However, the Blues, with the financial fair play problems they have, do not seem to be a 'concrete' danger.

Shakthar Donetsk has raised the price for Georgiy Sudakov. The Ukrainian club wants to cash in with the 21-year-old midfielder but during the next transfer session more than 50 million euros plus bonus will be needed to buy him. Napoli in January came close to the deal, offering a good 40 million euros that did not satisfy the Ukrainian club.

The goal is to replace Zielinski and a very concrete hypothesis remains Sudakov, for whom Shakhtar Donetsk's request is close to 50 million euros.

Napoli's priority remains Georgiy Sudakov. The 21-year-old from Shakhtar Donetsk was pursued by Napoli in January for up to 40 million euros, but his price has now increased significantly. Due to strong competition and a season without cups and UEFA revenues, his arrival is almost impossible.

Georgiy Sudakov, a midfielder from Shakhtar Donetsk, has been scouted multiple times during Champions League matches by Napoli's scouts who are building the future of Aurelio De Laurentiis' project alongside new sporting director, Giovanni Manna. Sudakov is also targeted by Juventus, but the Ukrainian midfielder has been closely followed in detail and secret by Napoli's chief scout Maurizio Micheli and his team.

Sudakov of Shakhtar Donetsk continues to be highly sought after. Napoli had made a concrete offer in January, offering 40 million, and now they could come back with a lower offer, even though the asking price will not be less than 50 million.

Georgiy Sudakov is the preferred player to replace Piotr Zielinski, who has already agreed to a contract with Inter for the upcoming seasons.

Sergey Palkin, the sporting director of Shakhtar Donetsk, spoke about the future of Georgiy Sudakov. Palkin revealed that Napoli could have had Sudakov for 50 million, but now that won't be enough. He believes that Sudakov will definitely go to a top European club, as they have had several contacts with some high-level companies and others are not dealing directly with them but with the boy's agents. They are evaluating and analyzing the situation for the summer window.
