Mario Rui’s agent expects a move from Roma to Napoli to be done next week “if there’s common sense on the part of everyone”.
The full-back has already agreed to a reunion with Maurizio Sarri at San Paolo, but the Partenopei had their first bid rejected by the capital club.
“He chose Napoli five days ago,” Mario Giuffredi confirmed on Radio Crc.
Mario Rui’s agent expects a move from Roma to Napoli to be done next week “if there’s common sense on the part of everyone”.
The full-back has already agreed to a reunion with Maurizio Sarri at San Paolo, but the Partenopei had their first bid rejected by the capital club.
“He chose Napoli five days ago,” Mario Giuffredi confirmed on Radio Crc.
“He accepted the Azzurri’s offer. Roma gave us the OK to stay, but then the dynamics of the transfer market changed everything and [Napoli sporting director Cristiano] Giuntoli was a hammer.
“The player was convinced by Giuntoli, he was struck by how much Sarri and the sporting director wanted him, as he was by Napoli’s offer.
“He wants to head to pre-season training as soon as possible, if there’s common sense on the part of everyone then we’ll get the deal over the line by next weekend.
“Mario Rui is already training, he wants to show he’s ready right away.”
