Agent: Giaccherini for Napoli done

By Football Italia staff

Emanuele Giaccherini's agent confirms that a move from Sunderland to Napoli is 'all done'.

The player is expected to sign today for the Partenopei, having risen to prominence in the market after his convincing performances at Euro 2016.

“It's all done, the last few details with Sunderland are being smoothed out,” his agent Furio Valcareggi told Radio CRC. “Emanuele is very happy to join Napoli, a great team that will be playing to win. He's finally getting what he deserves, after being underestimated for years.

“He'll put in triple the effort to match what he showed at Euro 2016. Giaccherini runs 13km per game and plays wonderfully.

“He's a box-to-box midfielder who can also play on the wing and who reaches the goal seven-eight times per game.

“He already spoke with [Coach Maurizio] Sarri. It's true, we did have a deal with Torino, but in football these things happen and will continue to happen. It was inevitable that an offer by Napoli would be answered affirmatively.

“So we went quickly to the training grounds in Dimaro and we settled everything in a mere moment. [Torino president Urbano] Cairo is a great person, but he must understand that these things happen. I've known Sarri since he was at Sansovino and he's happy about the signing.”
