Maggio set for Benevento

In a late twist, Napoli right-back Christian Maggio is reportedly headed for southern rivals Benevento and not Verona.

Maggio appeared to harbour ambitions of seeing out his career with Verona, given their vicinity to his birthplace of Vicenza.

However, Sky Sport Italia claims he will instead sign a two-year contract with Benevento, who were also relegated to Serie B last season.

The 36-year-old looks set to replace Bacary Sagna, who will leave the Stregoni once he becomes a free agent on Saturday.
