Icelandic forward Albert Gudmundsson is in hot demand! A bidding war is heating up between Napoli, Inter, Juventus, and Tottenham Hotspur for the Genoa star.
Gudmundsson has impressed in his first Serie A season, scoring 14 goals and providing 3 assists in 33 games. Originally acquired by Genoa for just €1.5 million in January 2022, he played a key role in their promotion and mid-table finish.
Previously considered the frontrunners, Inter Milan might face competition from Napoli, who are reportedly making an offer to secure Gudmundsson before other clubs.
However, Napoli’s coaching situation and potential absence from European competitions could be drawbacks.
