I know, but apparently he did that on his own after firing his agent for incompetence. The fact that Napoli were confidently asking for 130M means that they thought someone would bite. And no one did.

That was always too much to ask for an injury prone striker. He has his qualities, but availability isn't one of them. He should've been put up for sale for £50 million from the start

So like I say in my weird amalgamation of paragraphs above, I agree - the only reason it got bumped up that high is because Napoli saw lira signs and bet that one of Arsenal or Chelsea would be desperate enough to pay whatever the asking price. Now they're fucked. Even if he has a good season in Turkey, he can't go for more than 60 now, whereas they could have gotten at least 75 if they'd at 80 or so.
