De Laurentiis to meet Gabbiadini?

By Football Italia staff

Aurelio De Laurentiis will reportedly meet with Manolo Gabbiadini’s agent in Rome today to finalise the striker’s move to Napoli.



Sampdoria and Juventus - who co-own the player - are believed to have accepted an offer of €11m plus bonuses to sell the Italian international to the Partenopei, with the Neapolitan club's sporting director admitting the club's interest earlier today.



Genoa-based newspaper Il Secolo XIX reports that the Napoli President will today meet with Silvio Pagliari in Rome to finalise contract terms for the 23-year-old.



The paper believes that Napoli will offer the forward a salary of around €1.5m per year, the same wage taken home by the injured Lorenzo Insigne, who Gabbiadini would effectively replace.



Such a pay packet would represent a significant increase on the striker’s current €600,000 annual wage.
