Despite the progress made in recent days, the negotiations between Napoli and Alex Meret for the renewal of the contract remain very open. The Napoli goalkeeper, whose contract expires at the end of this season, has recently attracted interest from Inter as a cost-free option for next summer.
This move has set off alarms at Napoli and understandably, the Napoli executives are not at ease. Until the official signatures are in place, all scenarios remain possible. While it’s true that De Laurentiis’s club is confident of reaching a conclusion soon, the constant presence of the Inter keeps Antonio Conte on alert.
Here’s the latest market update on Meret’s future from La Gazzetta dello Sport: “In recent months, the dialogue with his agent Federico Pastorello has been constant, productive, but not yet decisive. So much so that some time ago, Inter’s interest in the goalkeeper as a cost-free summer option also emerged. Now both parties seem to be very close to an agreement, but until the much anticipated signature arrives, it is wise to remain vigilant.”
