Napoli, the Azzurri close to Juanlu Sanchez: agreement with Sevilla just a step away

Napoli had stopped at an offer of 17 million, but the new bid reported in Spain also includes bonuses, and now the discussion is about whether or not to include a percentage on a future resale. One thing is certain: Juanlu has never been this close to Napoli.

The news comes from Maximo de la Cruz Ramirez Ramirez, journalist for El Sevillista, who confirmed that the two clubs have reached a general agreement, with only the percentage on a future resale of the player left to be defined.

The details of the offer

Napoli’s latest proposal, presented in recent days, is for a total of 20 million euros, including a fixed fee and performance-related bonuses. The Neapolitan management is said to be optimistic about closing the deal by tomorrow, thus allowing Conte to have the player available in the coming weeks.

A targeted market on the flanks

After the signing of Gutierrez, Napoli continues its strategy of strengthening the wings. The arrival of Juanlu, who boasts excellent attacking abilities and defensive solidity, would give the squad greater depth in a key role for the coach’s system.

If confirmed, this deal would mark a decisive step in the Azzurri’s summer transfer campaign, which aims to provide Conte with a competitive team on all fronts.

Meanwhile, Juanlu Sanchez turns 23 today. On social media, his club Sevilla dedicated a birthday post to him. There were many comments from Spanish fans, many already resigned to the idea of having to say goodbye to him soon. Many messages are almost farewells rather than birthday wishes. Negotiations continue. Meanwhile, this morning the player trained regularly with the team and also received birthday wishes from his teammates.
