Napoli is preparing to welcome a new reinforcement in midfield. After the sale of Michael Folorunsho to Fiorentina, the Azzurri are in fact one step away from closing the deal for the Danish Philip Billing, a footballer born in 1996 currently playing for Bournemouth.
As reported by Sky Sports, the operation should materialize on the basis of a loan with an option to buy set between 9 and 10 million euros. The objective of the Neapolitan club is to accelerate negotiations and formalize the verbal agreement already reached with the player and the English club, so as to anticipate the competition of West Ham, also interested in the midfielder.
Billing, known for his physicality and offensive insertion ability, represents an ideal profile to enrich the midfield of Napoli, which aims to maintain competitiveness on several fronts in the second half of the season. The transfer could be made official in the coming days, giving Conte an important tactical option in view of the upcoming commitments.
