Report: Astori to Napoli

By Football Italia staff

Reports are emerging that Napoli have a deal for Cagliari and Italy defender Davide Astori worth €13m.

The rumour is doing the rounds at both Sky Sport Italia and Sport Mediaset on Friday evening, so is gaining credence quickly.

It’s not the first time Napoli have been interested in Astori, so would not be a surprise move, although so far Cagliari have always resisted.

The deal is thought to be worth €13m with a four-year contract for €1m per season.

Cagliari President Massimo Cellino said last week that he would only release Astori if he requested the transfer, which appears to have now happened.

Astori had also been linked with Milan, Fiorentina, Southampton and Sunderland.
