AI summary
Costantino Favasuli has made an immediate impact since arriving at Napoli, impressing Allegri enough to feature in both the Champions League and Serie A within days.
The deal, brokered by sporting director Manna and agent Giuffredi, represents smart recruitment from Italian talent. Fiorentina's decision to let him go—and their subsequent reluctance to invest €3.5m to bring him back—stands in contrast to Napoli's faith in developing homegrown players, a strategy that has also benefited Milan with Cissé.
