As per Sportitalia, Herta Berlin and PSG have also been chasing Bakayoko who is however willing to return to Serie A and play under his former manager.
The Partenopei can close the deal as soon as Arkadiusz Milik leaves the club. Tuttosport states the Poland striker is close to joining Fiorentina on a € 5 million loan deal with an option to buy in the region of € 25 million. The Polish ace would need to sign a one-year contract extension ahead of joining the Artemio Franchi side with that formula as his current deal at Napoli expires on June 2021.
