Dries Mertens future with Napoli is looking in doubt, more than ever before, according to a report in today’s print edition of Corriere dello Sport.
The experienced Belgian attacker’s current contract with the Stadio San Paolo club is due to expire in a matter of months and it had appeared that he was set to sign an extension after meeting with club management but he no longer appears certain to stick around.
The report goes on to state that Napoli had planned to sell Arkadiusz Milik due to Mertens likely stay but now the situation has changed and they may well decide to keep Milik if Mertens departs the club.
Inter have been keeping a close eye on his situation for some time and would be very keen on acquiring him on a free transfer, as would Ligue 1 outfit Monaco.
This season the 32-year-old has made 29 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 12 goals and tallied six assists.
