Report: Napoli To Sign Fabio Quagliarella And Luca Cigarini

It seems Napoli have already wrapped up their first two big signings.

Despite enduring a torrid second half of the season, after making an impressive start, Napoli remain a highly ambitious club, and according to Sky, they have already made their first two new signings for next season.

Striker Fabio Quagliarella of Udinese and midfielder Luca Cigarini of Atalanta are the players in question. Quagliarella has been reportedly bought for €16 million, and the Friulani have also given up Maurizio Domizzi, who was co-owned by Udinese and Napoli.

Quagliarella is originally from Naples, so this will undoubtedly be a dream come true for him. He is expected to sign a five year contract.

Meanwhile, Cigarini was allegedly acquired for € 4.5 million plus full ownership of defender Gyorgy Garics, who also played last season with Napoli.

"Quagliarella already has an agreement with Napoli," says Sky transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, " €1.8 million for five seasons plus bonuses and salary raise based on objectives reached by the team.

"The latest news, which still has to be verified, is that Cigarini and Quagliarella's contracts have already been found in the Napoli offices by finance agents. After that the news spread; maybe those agents were also Napoli fans."
