Multiple sources continue to report that Napoli have a €42m deal with PSV Eindhoven for Hirving Lozano, but image rights are a problem.
Media in Italy, the Netherlands and Mexico all paint a similar picture, that the two clubs are in agreement, but personal terms are holding everything up.
As is often the case with Napoli and President Aurelio De Laurentiis, image rights represent a crucial issue in negotiations and can take a very long time.

As is often the case with Napoli and President Aurelio De Laurentiis, image rights represent a crucial issue in negotiations and can take a very long time.
Transfers have been abandoned before due to this and there is the very real risk it could scupper the deal for ‘Chucky’ Lozano too.
La Gazzetta dello Sport points out that Lozano’s image rights and various sponsorship contracts are worth €4-5m per year, so he has no intention of simply signing them over to Napoli.
Negotiations are dragging on with agent Mino Raiola, who wants Napoli to either leave the image rights with the player or make up for it with a significantly higher salary.
