Inter are in pole position to land Dries Mertens should he not sign a contract extension with Napoli according to a report in today’s print edition of Tuttosport.
The Belgian national team attacker’s current contract with Napoli is due to expire at the end of the season and due to this Inter have extended a contract offer to him.
Inter have offered him a two year deal with an option of a third year with an annual salary of €5 million plus bonuses, which is the best offer Mertens has received from anyone, including Napoli.
The report goes on to add that Mertens is torn with what to do with his future especially given Inter’s rich offer and the possibility of being able to possibly win the Serie A title with the Nerazzurri club.
This season Mertens has made 29 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 12 goals and provided six assists for his teammates.
