Il Corriere dello Sport understands that Premier League outfit Southampton have sent a formal proposal for Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini.
The Azzurri hope to offload the Italy international by the end of the month having recruited Leonardo Pavoletti, but there hasn’t been too much interest in the player’s services of late.
And while Napoli were aiming to get around €25 million for Gabbiadini, they will probably be forced to accept less if they want to see the 25-year-old leave in January.
Southampton have now emerged as favourites to land the Italian forward having offered €16 million up front plus another €3 million in bonuses.
And while Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis is not going to be too happy with said proposal, there is a chance he will lower his demands and meet the Saints halfway.
It seems that all the transfer talk has had a positive effect on Gabbiadini as he scored in three successive appearances at the turn of the year.
