⚡️ Hakimi, Danilo, Wesley 🤑 Full-backs' price ranking 👀
The market often follows trends, and one of the most evident in recent years is the ever-growing focus on full-backs. Football has changed, and with it, so has the role of wide players, who have become key pieces for coaches who favor all-out wing play. Watch all of Napoli's friendlies LIVE on OneFootball! Click here from the app to purchase Napoli-Stade Brestois 29. Clubs are looking for complete profiles, capable of covering both the offensive and defensive phases, ideal for adapting to a back three but also for consistently pushing down the flanks. Such players are few, in high demand and — inevitably — expensive. Because today, those who can excel at both phases are rare commodities. 🆕 NEW FACES FOR THE FLANK In recent years, Serie A has established itself as fertile ground for the growth and explosion of the best full-backs on the international scene. Even in this transfer window, two new faces promise to make their mark. The first is Luis Henrique, a winger who started as an attacking wide player, arriving at Inter from Marseille for 23 million euros. He has already made his debut with the Nerazzurri at the Club World Cup. The other is Wesley. He played a starring role in the tournament in the United States with Flamengo, but just yesterday he was welcomed by Roma, who convinced the Brazilian club to let him go by paying 25 million euros plus 5 in bonuses. 📊 HAKIMI LEADS: THE MOST EXPENSIVE FULL-BACKS IN SERIE A Impressive numbers, but not enough to dethrone the major signings of recent years in Serie A for this position. On the podium of the most expensive signings we find Danilo (37 million to Juventus) and João Cancelo (40.4 million, also to the Bianconeri), but at the top of the list is him: Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan wide player was bought by Inter in 2020 for 43 million euros from Real Madrid, after a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund. In just one year he made his mark, contributing to the Nerazzurri's league title before being sold to PSG for 68 million. With the Parisians, just a few months ago, he climbed to the top of Europe, beating in the final the team that had launched him. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Three emerging Celtic transfer headlines as Ambrosino gets second chance and Hoops 'lead' chasing pack for Man City kid
Brendan Rodgers is desperate to bolster his ranks even further ahead of the coming season Reported Celtic target Giuseppe Ambrosino is set to be handed another chance by Napoli. The Italy U21 star was linked with a move to the Hoops earlier this month after catching the eye on duty for his country at the European Championships in Slovakia. The striker spent the whole of last season on loan at Frosinone in Serie B and with just 12 months remaining on his contract, has an uncertain future with the Scudetto winners. Ambrosino's chances of forcing his way into Antonio Conte's plans were plunged into further doubt when he was left out on a training camp trip to Dimaro in the north of Italy. But it's now being claimed that the 21-year-old is set to be given a lifeline at Napoli. According to Il Corriere del Mezzogiorno (via the forward will be included in the squad that travel to Castel di Sangro in the heart of the Apennine Mountains for another training camp ahead of the new season. Napoli kick off the defence of their Serie A crown with a trip to Sassuolo on August 23. Meanwhile, Celtic are now said to be leading the race to sign Manchester City youngster Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on loan. The champions' interest in the 19-year-old has emerged in recent days and the Manchester Evening News now report that Brendan Rodgers' side are confident of pipping clubs in England's second tier to bring the defender north of the border. Simpson-Pusey has made six first team appearances in total for Pep Guardiola's Etihad giants, including two outings in the Champions League. Another player who is reportedly Celtic's radar is Go Ahead Eagles' Danish winger Jakob Breum. The Hoops are alleged to have seen a bid of £1.5million knocked back by the Eredivisie club and their technical director Jan Willem van Dop has now gone public with details of the bid. Fellow Dutch outfit FC Twente are also very keen on the player. Speaking to Oosttribune, van Dop said: "Well, obviously that's something to talk about if the price is right. "And we didn't get out of that. What to me was the only positive of that was, that they (Twente) offered at least already above the official offer that was ever made by Celtic. 'Because that was one and a half million. So his thinking was higher. "I at least indicated that we did not go along with the bid that they made. And coincidentally this morning, obviously we still had the agent on the line who hopes that he will go that way. "And we are, I think, really not the hardest club, but it has to fit. And if we don't come out of it financially better, we also have that that right, I think, to then say, 'Well, then it's not going to happen.'"
