Vrsaljko asks for Napoli move?

By Football Italia staff

It’s claimed Sime Vrsaljko has asked to leave Atletico Madrid, as he wants to join Napoli in January.

The Partenopei are keen to sign the Croatian full-back, as Faouzi Ghoulam is out with a cruciate ligament injury.

The former Sassuolo defender can play on either side of the defence, and has Serie A experience already, so he’d fit right in to Maurizio Sarri’s squad.

Now CalcioNapoli24 is claiming to have spoke to sources close to Atleti, who told them that Vrsaljko has asked to leave.

The Spanish club won let him leave unless they can find a replacement in January, but if that condition is satisfied he could leave for €20m.
