Manchester United and Arsenal target Elseid Hysaj to be subject of €50m bid

1 Napoli right-back Elseid Hysaj

Manchester United and Arsenal target Elseid Hysaj has told Napoli a club is prepared to meet his current €50million release clause.

The Albanian right-back has excelled in Naples since he followed Maurizio Sarri to the club from Empoli in 2015 for a €5m fee, which now looks a snip.

His current contract runs until 2021 but includes a specific section which allows him to quit the Serie A side between June 30 and July 15 every year – if a €50m bid is tabled.

Both the Red Devils and the Gunners hold interest in the 24-year-old and it is now being reported in Italy one team is ready to pay the required sum.

Tuttosport believe a team has revealed their intent to meet the fee and this news has been relayed to those in charge at Napoli by the player’s agent.
