The signing of Juanlu Sánchez by Napoli has ended up cooling off definitively. Although for weeks it seemed that the transfer of the right-back to the Italian team was just a matter of time, the negotiations have not reached a successful conclusion, and impatience has grown at the southern Italian club. Seville had even registered the player in LaLiga as a preliminary step to his departure, and Matías Almeyda had left him out of the last friendly against Sunderland, anticipating a departure that is now uncertain.
Napoli will not raise their offer, decisions need to be made
As reported by MundoDeportivo, the agreement between both clubs included a fixed amount close to 17 million euros, plus bonuses based on objectives. However, pending details, including the distribution of training rights and UEFA's solidarity mechanism, have hindered the completion of the deal. Napoli believes they have made a considerable economic effort already and have refused to accept additional conditions.
Facing this standstill, the team led by Antonio Conte has decided to change direction and is now in talks with Alessandro Zanoli, a player who recently returned from his loan at Genoa. Conte sees the Italian as a strong alternative to reinforce the right flank, and unlike with Sevilla, his arrival would not create bureaucratic complications.
