Napoli, open doors for Klaassen

By Football Italia staff

Napoli are after Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen, helped by the fact that he has the same agent as Dries Mertens.

The 22-year-old is one of a number of options that the Partenopei are considering to reinforce their midfield, along with Benfica's Andre Gomes and on from the probable renewal of Jorginho's contract.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, negotiations are already on their way, and moving rather quickly.

Klaassen may come to Naples for €8m as early as January. Reports suggest that he is viewed as an heir to former Ajax midfielder and striker Dennis Bergkamp.

The deal could be made even easier by the fact that Bergkamp is represented professionally by Essel Sports Management, the same agency that dealt and continues to deal with Napoli player Mertens.
