Napoli relaunch talks for AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah | OneFootball

Napoli have revived the talks to sign AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah this summer (h/t journalist Gianluca Di Marzio).

Negotiations hit a stumbling block after Milan were reluctant to accept Napoli’s offer, although Musah had reportedly given the green light to the move.

The Serie A champions are now maximising their efforts to reach a final agreement, having previously submitted an offer worth €25 million.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte views Musah as a valuable addition to the squad, but they must fend off competition from Premier League club Nottingham Forest in the transfer race.

The imminent arrival of Ardon Jashari at AC Milan for €39m is likely to push Musah towards the exit.

The Rossoneri have already invested in Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci to bolster their midfield this summer.

The 22-year-old moved from Valencia to Milan in 2023, but he has been hit-and-miss for the Italian giants.

The United States international could be a breath of fresh air to Napoli’s midfield with his ability to perform in different roles. His physicality and work rate align with Conte’s ideology.

The Partenopei are in talks to sign Juventus’ Fabio Miretti in their efforts to revolutionise the midfield, having already snapped up Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer.

Musah and Miretti will provide more depth to the squad heading into the new season, where Napoli will defend the Scudetto and compete in the Champions League.

Lorenzo Lucca, Sam Beukema, Noa Lang, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and Luca Marianucci have moved to Napoli in this transfer window.
