Once Brighton & Hove Albion’s star of the show in the Premier League, Neal Maupay has been a different player of late.
The Frenchman has struggled to be as consistent in front of goal, and while he found the back of the net eight times in 32 Premier League appearances last season, he scored just once in 2022 in a 2-0 win over Watford.
This led to him falling down the pecking order in Graham Potter’s plans at Brighton towards the end of the season, and he is now being talked about in Italy as a potential target for Salernitana.
The news comes via Gazzetta dello Sport, who look at who the newly promoted Serie A side could bring in to bolster their attack this summer.
They’ve thought about Krzysztof Piatek, but there is also Boulaye Dia, Arkadiusz Milk and Neal Maupay, who have ‘also ended up on the agenda of sporting director Morgan De Sanctis’.
There’s no mention of how much someone like Maupay would cost, but with just one year left on his Brighton contract at the Amex, he might not be the most expensive, at least by Premier League standards.
