Napoli are 'finally making moves' to improve their midfield this summer and Wolverhampton Wanderers star Joao Gomes is their 'main target'.
is according to Niccolo Ceccarini, journalist for Tuttomercatoweb. He revealed that the Wolves man has been placed at the top of Napoli's midfield wish list.
After a disastrous defense of their title, the reigning Italian champions will be busy reshaping their squad this summer. They are currently 11 points behind Inter Milan and are in third place in Serie A.
Injuries have caused major problems for them, and the club will probably need to refresh the squad to keep Antonio Conte on board.
The Italian club wants reinforcements in midfield, and Ceccarini reports that Gomes is at the top of the list.
Wolves star wanted
According to their information, Napoli are making moves to strengthen their midfield this summer. And, the Wolves midfielder is the 'main target' in that regard. There is no further information available about the 25-year-old.
But Sport Witness has reported on Napoli's interest in the midfielder for months. In fact, there have been several reports since the January transfer window alone.
For example, on 11 January, Sport Witness covered a report suggesting the Wolves midfielder was awaiting a transfer. At the time, the club valued him at €40m.
Efforts from January transfer window
A report three days later theorized that Wolves' potential demotion this summer would make a transfer easier. Two days ago it was confirmed that the Wolves midfielder remains a target for Napoli this summer.
Now Ceccherini has added to this that he is a main target for Conte. Given that they've also said they're finally making the move, it suggests something is going on behind the scenes.
In fact, it would not be surprising if sooner or later there were reports about contacts with Gomes' agents. Even if that isn't happening right now, Gomes' future appears to lie away from Molineux.
