The Brazilian David Neres is ever closer to becoming Napoli’s fourth purchase of the summer. According to today’s edition of the Sports Courierjust a hand’s breadth away, the Paulista winger is really very close, to the point that next week, and therefore close to the away match in Verona against Hellas in the league, he could even undergo medical tests and sign a contract until 2029. After all, the agreement with the player is a done deal, since the meeting between sporting director Giovanni Manna and his agent on Wednesday in Rome.
Now the blue club and Benfica are working to iron out the last details: it will be a purchase of 25 million plus 5 in bonuses and – writes the newspaper – it will be an important move because it will bring creativity, unpredictability, goals and assists to Conte’s attack. The coach wanted him and De Laurentiis has unlocked him despite the fact that the transfers have not yet all come to fruition.
Tomorrow, for the record, Benfica’s debut in the Liga Portugal is also scheduled: the first match will be played at 19:00 away against Famalicão in Vila Nova de Famalicão, in the district of Braga, and obviously all eyes will be on Neres. And above all on the list of players called up and the choices of Roger Schmidt.
