Inter, in fact, have joined the race for the 25-year-old but the Nerazzurri must complete a sale before making a formal offer to Torino.

This is why Napoli are in a hurry to reach an agreement with Buongiorno’s agent, Giuseppe Riso.

The defender is open to moving to the Stadio Maradona and after last night’s meeting, the two parties are closer to reaching a full agreement, but they are still discussing the release clause and image rights.

Moretto adds that Buongiorno rejected the chance to join Torino city rivals Juventus who had made a ‘big offer’ to secure his signature.

Other sources in Italy claim that the Bianconeri have now set their sights on Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior as Riccardo Calafiori is expected to join the Gunners.
