Napoli have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Matteo Politano as Sassuolo insist they will only consider selling the winger in the summer.
Politano has moved to the top of Napoli’s wideman wishlist for January, but Giovanni Carnevali made it clear Sassuolo were under no pressure to sell the former Roma attacker.
“Matteo’s a very important player, but Sassuolo’s philosophy is to never deprive ourselves of our most precious players midseason,” the CEO told Tuttosport.
