RAC1: Deulofeu close to Napoli move from Barcelona
Gerard Deulofeu could move to the Italian club on loan
The winger has not played for Barça in the New Year yet
Barcelona forward Gerard Deulofeu is close to signing for Napoil. The Catalan's move to Italy will be on loan, according to RAC1, after an agreement was reached between the two clubs.
According to the reports, after Napoli ruled out a move for Verdi, who will not leave Bologna, they bet big on Barça's Deulofeu.
The deal could be closed initially on loan, with an obligatory option to buy in the summer. It remains to be seen what fee has been agreed between the two sides.
Barça wanted 20 million euros while Napoli were looking to pay five million less. In the end, the deal could be somewhere in the middle.
Deulofeu, therefore, is set to become the second player to leave the Catalan club this month after Arda Turan returned to Turkey.
Rafinha, Javier Mascherano and Aleix Vidal are among the other players that could leave.
