Napoli beat Tottenham and Psg to signing of 19-year-old Boca star?

Napoli are close to signing Boca Juniors midfielder Augustin Almendra, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports. The 19-year-old is one step away from signing with the Serie A giants and an intermediary of the club has flown in Argentina to finalize the deal. 

An agreement with Boca President Angelici is reported to be in place with De Laurentiis who is determined to pay € 25 million to secure the services of the talented midfielder, one of the most interesting prospects in South America.

Carlo Ancelotti is a big admirer of the young midfielder and the Italian manager has already spoken with the player's agent Adrian Ruocco who confirmed that his client is willing to move to Napoli.

Tottenham, Psg and Benfica had also tried to sign the player but neither of them offered as much as Napoli. Almendra is now ready to join Napoli.
