Sirigu closer to Napoli gloves

By Football Italia staff

Salvatore Sirigu is increasingly likely to be the next Napoli goalkeeper, as they dropped Rui Patricio and can’t agree with Bayer Leverkusen for Bernd Leno.

Pepe Reina left at the end of his contract and will join Milan, so new Coach Carlo Ancelotti requires a shot-stopper.

Sportitalia are confident talks are progressing rapidly for Sirigu, who already worked with the tactician at Paris Saint-Germain and is currently at Torino.

He brings a great deal of experience and is considerably cheaper than the alternatives, as Napoli seem to have dropped their interest in Sporting CP man Rui Patricio, while it’s reported they agreed terms with Leno, but not Bayer Leverkusen, who want €25m.
