Napoli want Tuanzebe on loan with an option to buy

Axel Tuanzebe's future could lie in Serie A. According to Fabrizio Romano, the English central defender is close to joining Napoli. 

The intention of the Italians to cover the absence of Kalidou Koulibaly during the next African Cup of Nations with the arrival of a reliable centre-back. Tuanzebe, despite not having shone at Man Utd, has left signs of his quality in the past, like in the 2018-19 season at Aston Villa.

He is currently on loan at Villa, but he is not playing regularly and that is why all parties could help him to move.

Tuanzebe is set to leave the Midlands to go back to Man Utd and they will loan him out to Napoli where he could move on loan with an option to buy. 

He has a contract at Old Trafford until 2023 and the agreement seems to depend on the price Man Utd put on the central defender. Napoli are interested in signing him, but not at any price.
