Reports suggest Southampton are still keen on Manolo Gabbiadini, but Napoli’s asking price is a problem.
The forward is expected to leave San Paolo this month, but the Partenopei are asking for a fee in excess of €20m.
Today the Italian international’s agent warned that they would have to lower their asking price, and it appears that remains the stumbling block.

Today the Italian international’s agent warned that they would have to lower their asking price, and it appears that remains the stumbling block.
Both Corriere dello Sport and Gianluca Di Marzio’s website report that Southampton still want to sign Gabbiadini, but are only offering around €16m.
It’s thought that contact between the two clubs has continued today, and Corriere dello Sport believes that a compromise of €18m plus performance-related bonuses is possible.
