Napoli transfer talk: Santacroce urges loan for Vergara, doubts Lukaku cost

Former Napoli defender and commentator Fabrizio Santacroce said on TMW Radio that the club should consider sending forward Rodrigo Vergara on loan to give him regular playing time, noting his high potential but need for continuity. He also described Romelu Lukaku’s price tag as excessive for a permanent striker, suggesting the Belgian could be used as a squad player if his World Cup form improves. Santacroce mentioned the possible acquisition of Lazio striker Gila, calling a €20 million fee a “great purchase” for Napoli if the price is right. The remarks reflect ongoing speculation about Napoli’s attacking options ahead of the next season.
