Already interested in doing a deal with Everton back in January, Napoli are yet to give up on the possibility of signing Davy Klaassen.
Despite the deal collapsing towards the end of the winter window, the Dutchman’s name has yet to disappear from their shortlist after his struggles during his first season in England.
The idea appears to have returned recently amid rumours that Marek Hamsik, one of the pillars of the Serie A team, could leave in the summer to get a very large paycheque in China.
That has yet to be confirmed, but should it happen, Corriere dello Sport believe Klaassen, alongside André Gomes and Lucas Torreira, are some of the alternatives ‘identified’ to fill the potential gap in the squad.
At this point, we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t point out that Søren Lerby, the Everton midfielder’s agent, recently explained his client wasn’t looking for a transfer away from Goodison Park and was expected to take part in the Toffees’ preseason tour.
Who his manager will be following Sam Allardyce’s exit hasn’t been made official yet, but strong rumblings in Portugal suggest Marco Silva is expected to be announced soon.
