Napoli confirm interest in Man Utd defender Matteo Darmian

Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has confirmed that the club are considering a move for Manchester United‘s Matteo Darmian, as well as other full-back options. 

Darmian, who has 36 caps for Italy, joined Manchester United from Torino in 2015.

But last season, Darmian only made eight league appearances for the Red Devils and is about to enter the final year of his contract, while United’s signing of Diogo Dalot from Porto further decreases the Italian’s chances of playing next term.

Napoli are also monitoring PSV Eindhoven’s Colombian full-back, Santiago Arias, and speaking to Italian outlet, Radio Kiss Kiss (via Sky Sports), De Laurentiis said: “There are five or six names on the list. We are monitoring Arias like Darmian, who can play on both flanks.

“Everybody would like to sign Darmian because of his versatility.”

Napoli were also reportedly interested in signing French left-back, Lucas Digne, from Barcelona but De Laurentiis rubbished these claims as ‘fake news’ – Napoli have Faouzi Ghoulam due back from injury very soon.

And having to answer to more transfer speculation, De Laurentiis denied that the club are looking to bring Edinson Cavani back to Naples, saying: “I’ve never called Cavani’s agent.

“I have not met Cavani for many years and I am not going to Paris to meet him.

“I read that PSG want €55m (£49m) for him. We sold Cavani for €63m (£56.2m). I would never allow them to take my money back.”
