Inter Milan, Juventus, and Roma are all prepared to go head-to-head to sign wantaway Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. The newspaper anticipates that the Partenopei would expect a fee of around €25 million for the Italian international.
Now it looks clear enough. Di Lorenzo will leave Napoli at the end of the season.
Despite the 30-year-old having captained the Campanian team since the start of the 2022-23 season, a rift has formed between he and the club.
And that is not something that the parties will be able to overcome.
The difficult season that Napoli have had has caused some tensions behind the scenes. And this has prompted Di Lorenzo to seek a move elsewhere.
Moreover, Tuttosport report, Di Lorenzo wants a move to a team within Serie A.
Whilst there could be interest from other leagues, the 30-year-old’s priority is to stay within the Italian top flight.

And there would be no lack of interest in Di Lorenzo’s signature.
First of all, there is Inter.
The Nerazzurri have reportedly made contact with the Partenopei captain’s agent.
Di Lorenzo would certainly be a tempting option for Inter as a replacement for Denzel Dumfries on the right flank, in the event that they sell the Dutchman rather than extending his contract.
Then, Juventus are also eyeing Di Lorenzo up.
The Bianconeri could look to bring the Italian international in as a defensive reinforcement for Thiago Motta. Particularly with their own captain Danilo’s contract expiring at the end of next June.
