Napoli have agreed a deal with Giovanni Simeone over a summe transfer are waiting for an agreement with Hellas Verona, according to reports in Italy.
The Argentina forward scored 17 times last season to set a personal record and particularly impressed in the bigger matches, scoring four against Lazio and two against Juventus.
Il Corriere dello Sport report he has an agreement over a move to Napoli and the only thing holding up the move is for the club to strike a deal with Verona.
Hellas have see French attacker Thomas Henry, Bosnian frontman Milan Đurić as well as Italian striker Roberto Piccoli arrive this summer, which means Simeone can leave, according to the report.
Should Simeone join Napoli, that would allow Andrea Petagna to sign for newly promoted Monza, the report adds.
Monza have been linked with several big-name forwards, including Mauro Icardo and Edin Džeko as they look to compete during their first-ever season in Italy’s top flight.
Good buy napoli, lets see how much the transfee is and salary
Feel as though he’s more a midtable striker who occasionally gets very hot, but also has very cold spells. But that’s appropriate, as Napoli seem to be turning into a midtable team.
Could be a great signing, 17 goals at Verona is no mean feat.
Simeone should be a good fit at Napoli, it could suit him down to the ground.
I feel better about this signing than I did than when considering Dybala. Still wish somehow things will work out with Dries. I also wish FI would give more info on Napoli news. I don’t care about the Milan‘s or Juve or Roma. Even more Lazio news would be better.
Napoli has always been a midtable team , except the Maradona spell. Nothing new.
