Napoli are close; very close in fact to securing the services of Amadou Diawara from Bologna. An agreement has been reached between the two clubs for a fee of €15 million, but the final details on how the operation will be closed has still not been decided.
 

The 18-year-old Guinean has also been followed by Roma but the giallorossi needs to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League for extra capital to be made available. The other club to provide opposition is Milan; the rossoneri has excellent relations with Bologna but are unable to match the offer from Napoli. Diawara is now ready to sign a five-year deal at the San Paolo worth €800,000 per season.
