As reported earlier, Napoli are extremely active on the transfer market, expecially regarding their team’s midfield, and their main target is Paris Saint-Germain 26 year old Blaise Matuidi; the alternatives to the France international, as reported by the Corriere dello Sport, are FC Porto 26 year old Fernando Francisco Reges, Lyon 24 year old Maxime Gonalons and Tottenham 25 year old Sandro. Meanwhile, the Spurs 27 year old Moussa Dembelé has told the Daily Mirror that he needs to play more. The azzurri are also seeking a defender, and, still according to “The Corriere”, their Sports Director Riccardo Bigon is particularly interested in River Plate 20 year old Eder Alvarez Balanta, but the amount required by the Argentine club is too high; moreover, according to Tuttosport, Napoli are also tracking Benfica 27 year old Ezequiel Garay, valued about 20 million euros by the Portuguese club. The azzurri also want to reinforce their team’s flank, and have offered 6 million euros to Genoa to obtain 26 year old left back Luca Antonelli: interviewed by Radio Crc, Roberto Antonelli, father of the Italy international, has declared that he had no contacts with Napoli and that he is in talks with the Ligurian club regarding a new contract.

Also the Serie A defending champions are working to reinforce their team’s flank, and one of their targets for such position, Sevilla FC 25 year old Diego Perotti, has told Estadio Sport that he could leave the Andalusian club. Moreover, according to Sky transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the bianconeri in June will have a concrete chance for Fiorentina 25 year old Juan Cuadrado.
