Inter linked forward Dries Mertens will not make a decision about his future until the end of the season, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws.
The report details how the 33-year-old Belgian striker’s contract expires with Napoli at the end of this season, and currently a contract renewal doesn’t seem close, despite the meeting the player had with president Aurelio De Laurentiis at the start of March. He has restarted individual training with the club over the last few days, ahead of the proposed restart at the start of next month.
Mertens hasn’t decided where he wants to play next, the report continues, and so wants to stall until the end of the season, avoiding a rushed decision. Inter and Chelsea are the two clubs closest to the Belgian.
Mertens has made 29 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1787 minutes. In that time, he has scored 12 goals and provided six assists.
