Marco Brescianini’s proposed transfer to Napoli has collapsed, and Sky Sport Italia reports that Atalanta are now in talks to sign the Italian midfielder from Frosinone.
Brescianini won’t join Napoli despite undergoing medical tests with the Partenopei this morning.
According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the Partenopei tried to change the terms of the agreement today, pushing Frosinone to call off the deal.
Brescianini transfer: Napoli deal off after medical tests
Brescianini, a Milan academy product, was expected to join the Partenopei on a €1m loan deal plus an obligation to buy for €11m in 2025.
It remains to be seen if Napoli’s request to change the terms of the agreement is tied to Jens Cajuste’s collapsed transfer to Brentford.
Surely, Napoli director Giovanni Manna is currently in London to meet Brighton for another central midfielder, Billy Gilmour.
According to Di Marzio, Brescianini could still play in Serie A next season as both Juventus and Atalanta are interested in him.
However, La Dea are ahead of the Bianconeri in the race for the versatile 24-year-old.
Misleading headline here. It suggests the deal collapsed because Napoli saw something they didn’t like in his tests, which clearly wasn’t the case.
