Napoli want Arsenal loanee star to replace Reina
According to today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the partenopei could replace the former Liverpool keeper with another shot-stopper who has already played in the Premier League as well as in Serie A: Wojciech Szczesny.
The Poland International is on loan at AS Roma but is expected to make return to Arsenal at the end of the season. The 27-year-old, in fact, joined the giallorossi in a loan deal with option to buy last summer but according to the Italian paper, AS Roma won’t make the player’s move permanent.
The Serie A giants, in fact, invested € 8 million to sign Brazil goalkeeper Alisson last summer. Alisson has been AS Roma’s second-choice goalkeeper this season but the giallorossi are said not to be willing to invest €10 more million to sign Szczesny as well. Napoli are also considering signing emerging Serie B goalkeeper Merer who is a transfer target of Juventus as well.
