With Dan Ndoye heading to Nottingham Forest, Napoli are reportedly preparing a €35m offer to RB Leipzig for Antonio Nusa instead.
As confirmed by Football Italia’s own Alfredo Pedullà several days ago, the Partenopei had set their spending limit for Ndoye at €35m plus €5m in add-ons, and were not ready to go any further.
That allowed Nottingham Forest to dive in with an improved proposal of €40m plus €3m bonuses and a percentage of the sell-on fee, which is why the winger will fly out for his medical in the next 24 hours.
Nusa strong Napoli alternative for Ndoye
Meanwhile, Napoli have turned to other candidates, with names like Raheem Sterling of Chelsea and Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa on the agenda.
However, Sport Mediaset maintain that the first option is Nusa, with a proposal worth €35m including add-ons at the ready.
He only turned 20 in April and can play on the left or right of a trident attack.
The Norway international already has 15 senior caps for his country, providing five goals and seven assists.
RB Leipzig only bought Nusa from Club Brugge a year ago for €21m and his value has sky-rocketed thanks to a season with five goals and eight assists in 35 competitive games
