Mertens’ wife, Kat, is unhappy in Naples and is reportedly pressuring her husband to move elsewhere.

It’s now believed Napoli are prepared to let Mertens go if someone offers €30m.

Manchester United are known to be the main interested party, as today La Repubblica newspaper claimed they had proposed a contract worth €4.5m per year.

However, Mediaset Premium suggest Tottenham are also in the running for the winger-turned-centre-forward who has scored 27 goals with 12 assists in 40 competitive games this season.
