Gerard Deulofeu close to signing for Napoli

Gerard Deulofeu could make a big leap in quality in this transfer window. After a great season at Udinese, the Spanish player has a good chance of continuing his career at Napoli.

According to 'Corriere dello Sport', the Neapolitan side would be willing to pay 18 million euros for the former Barcelona player, who has scored 13 goals in Serie A this past year.

The Italian media claims that the parties are close to reaching a definitive agreement. Deulofeu would sign a contract for five seasons and would arrive at Napoli to take replace Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens, who will not continue at the southern Italian club.

Thus, it seems that the 28-year-old winger will have a new club from next season onwards. In the past, he has played for Barcelona, Sevilla, Everton, Milan, Watford and Udinese.
