Rui Patricio has Napoli medical?

By Football Italia staff

Rai Sport claim that Sporting CP goalkeeper Rui Patricio is having a medical with Napoli today ahead of a transfer.

The shot-stopper had been named as one of the main contenders to replace Pepe Reina, who has already signed for Milan as a free agent.

It comes a couple of days after reports in the Corriere del Mezzogiorno newspaper that the Partenopei had agreed personal terms with the 30-year-old, worth €2m per season in a four-year contract.

Sporting CP want €35m for the goalkeeper, but Napoli aren’t prepared to go over €18m.

There is the added threat Rui Patricio could try to have his contract terminated after he was one of the players attacked by hooligans at the training ground earlier this month.
