Napoli are on the verge of sealing an agreement with Torino for goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, but that does not spell the end of Alex Meret’s career at the Stadio Maradona, despite his being out of contract at the end of the month.

What Napoli’s goalkeeper talks mean for Meret

According to reports from various outlets on Thursday, Napoli are in talks with Torino over possible deals for Milinkovic-Savic and Cyril Ngonge, who could move in the opposite direction.

Calciomercato.com reports that Napoli are on the verge of sealing an agreement for Milinkovic-Savic for a fee of €18m.

However, even if Milinkovic-Savic comes in, that does not necessarily mean the end of Meret’s time in Naples.

In fact, according to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli now have an agreement in place to extend Meret’s contract for a further two seasons, until the end of the 2026-27 campaign.

The two-time Scudetto winner is currently due to be out of contract on June 30.
