On Friday, CaughtOffside reported, citing sources, that Napoli are preparing an improved offer for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez. The Serie A club still consider the Uruguayan forward their top attacking target and are expected to submit a new bid of around €55 million.
Nunez is available for transfer this summer, but Liverpool are reluctant to sell him for less than his value and could hold out for €65-70 million for the 26-year-old.
CaughtOffside added that, while it appears unlikely Napoli will meet that price, negotiations are expected to continue as both sides look for a compromise.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported this week that Ékitiké is still attracting interest from the Premier League, with Newcastle among the clubs showing strong interest in the striker.
Liverpool and Chelsea both made inquiries back in June, and other Premier League sides are keeping an eye on his situation. Ékitiké has also drawn recent interest from Saudi clubs Al Hilal and Al Qadsiah, but his focus remains on securing a move within Europe.
