Napoli convinced Sampdoria to release Manolo Gabbiadini by raising the offer and the forward rejected Premier League bids.
According to Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport, a deal is practically done to bring Gabbiadini to the Stadio San Paolo in January.
Samp had resisted, but the player made his intentions clear by rejecting more lucrative proposals from the Premier League.

Napoli also took a step towards the Blucerchiati’s position by raising their initial €10m plus €2m add-ons offer.
Gabbiadini is brought in to replace Lorenzo Insigne, who is out injured for five to six months following knee ligament surgery.
This is also an investment for the future, as new Serie A rules force clubs to include a quota of Italian players, something Napoli have in short supply.
