Maksimovic escapes to Serbia?

By Football Italia staff

It’s reported Nikola Maksimovic has flown to Serbia in order to avoid Torino training and push through a Napoli transfer.

The defender was all set to start Saturday’s Coppa Italia tie against Pro Vercelli, but didn’t turn up to training on Friday afternoon.

He was nowhere to be seen today either and La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Maksimovic has flown home to Serbia without permission from his club.

Toro have requested €25m for the centre-back and Napoli seem prepared to meet the price.

It remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old’s actions will help or hinder his chances of playing for the Partenopei.
