Today is “the moment of truth” for Manolo Gabbiadini to Everton, claim SportItalia, as Napoli prepare to go for Simone Zaza.
Transfer deadline day is fast approaching on August 31 and the Partenopei are still trying to find the heir to Gonzalo Higuain.
Gabbiadini’s performance in the 2-2 draw with Pescara on Sunday confirmed he is not the kind of centre-forward who can simply slot into Higuain’s place.

Everton are reported to have offered the €25m asking price for Gabbiadini and SportItalia claim negotiations are taking place today.
Not only are Napoli meeting with Everton representatives today, but also speaking to the player himself.
If Gabbiadini is sold to Everton, then Napoli would turn the same €25m over to Juventus for Zaza.
The Bianconeri striker’s move to Wolfsburg faltered and he has interest from both West Ham United and Southampton, but would prefer to remain in Serie A.
Sky Sport Italia claim Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli was in Turin yesterday for talks with Zaza’s father, who also acts as his agent.
Now Radio Marte report that Giuntoli is in a meeting with Zaza's father in a Rome hotel this afternoon.
