Latest transfer rumours: Leandro Damiao is on Napoli radar

Serie A side is looking for a new forward.

The Uruguan Leandro Damiao was close to joining Tottenham in January, yet the London side failed to persuade the youngster to move to England. Now the player is of great interest for the Italian side who will compete with the Spurs for the starlet in summer.

The player’s agent Vinicius Prates confirmed the contacts with the Naples side.

“There are currently some contacts with Napoli, who are a great club, and to play in Italian football is a major goal for the player, ” stated the agent.

“In June we’ll see what will happen, but there is no agreement with any club. Internacional have not changed their mind. They rejected an offer from Tottenham for £17m because they asked for more money,” added Prates.
