At home Naples takes center stage the renewal of Alex Meretwhich is proving to be more complicated than expected. The goalkeeper’s contract expires in June and, certainly, De Laurentiis does not want to lose him for free, allowing any Italian rivals to acquire him on a free transfer. As reported The Morningwe are still in a gray smoke phase: sporting director Manna and the powerful agent, Pastorello, will meet after the break to discuss it again.
The definitive agreement is far away, but if on the one hand De Laurentiis does not want to lose him for nothing, on the other Meret would like to stay at Napoli for at least another three years. The last meeting, last week, did not produce any progress: more appointments are needed, in fact Pastorello will return to Naples at the end of October precisely to try to understand if there are the conditions for a stay. It must be said that, from the point of view of Meret’s agent, there is no rush that Napoli is in.
We will therefore talk about it again after the break. In the meantime, Meret is making headlines for another reason: from Castel Volturno it filters out that he is well, he is making time and the recovery plan is moving forward precisely in the direction that had been predicted by the doctor, Raffaele Canonico. Alex will most likely return to the starting line-up with Empoli when the championship resumes.
