Napoli-Roma, ongoing talks for Manolas-Mertens: the latest

Napoli’s plans for the summer transfer window are becoming concrete. With Raul Albiol likely to return to Spain after Villareal’s recent interest, the partenopei are very interested in replacing him with Kostas Manolas who has a €36 million exit clause.

Napoli would like to include Amadou Diawara in a potential deal, but Roma are more interested in other players- particularly Dries Mertens who would fill a specific need. Napoli’s negotiation for Manolas could be helped by his agent Mino Raiola who also represents Lozano, another player on Napoli’s radar.
