Napoli Want Toon Striker!

Last updated : 08 June 2017 By Footy Mad - Editor

Napoli are reportedly plotting a move to sign Aleksandar Mitrovic from Newcastle this summer.

According to a report from the Northern Echo, the Serbian international’s time at Newcastle could come to an end in the transfer window and he most certainly won’t be short of potential suitors.

The likes of Besiktas have been strongly linked with a move for the enigmatic striker, but the latest to be linked is Napoli.

Maurizio Sarri appears to be keen on bolstering his attacking set-up and could turn to Mitrovic to add a different type of striker to his ranks.

It’s claimed in the report that the Serie A outfit could be prepared to bid €10m for Mitrovic; a fee that may be worth considering for the Magpies.

However, it’s also stated that Newcastle will not be willing to sell the fiery forward for a fee less than £13m.

Mitrovic only managed to chip in with four goals in the Championship last season.
