Napoli eyeing Colombian starlet

Serie A giants Napoli are keeping close tabs on Deportivo Cali defender Luis Manuel Orejuela Garcia, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The Azzurri could stay without both right-sided defenders in the summer given that Christian Maggio and Giandomenico Mesto will be out of contract at the end of the season.

As a result, they are in the market for a new full-back and Colombian starlet Luis Manuel Orejuela Garcia appears to be high on their wish list.

The 19-year-old hasn’t made too many appearances at senior level, but he largely impressed playing for Colombia Under-20 side.

Orejuela Garcia has started six matches for los Cafeteros at the Under-20 South American Championship in Uruguay, proving that he could develop into a high-quality footballer.

His suitors Napoli host Udinese on Sunday afternoon, hoping to cement their position in Serie A top 3, with the Azzurri priced at 4/11 to emerge victorious.
