Napoli remain confident of signing Chelsea centre-back Benoit Badiashile despite the Premier League side raising their asking price. The French defender has rejected alternative interest from England as Massimiliano Allegri seeks urgent defensive cover following a major injury crisis.
Napoli have agreed a deal to sell Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku to Turkish giants Fenerbahce for €6 million plus bonuses. The 33-year-old forward has already passed his medical and agreed a contract worth €10m per season ahead of his move to Istanbul.
Napoli's pre-season preparations have suffered a severe blow after defender Luca Marianucci sustained a "high-grade" medial collateral ligament injury. The 22-year-old centre-back picked up the knee issue shortly after coming off the bench during Saturday's friendly draw against Celta Vigo, ruling him out for a significant period.
