Manolo Gabbiadini is on the way out, as Napoli have reportedly abandoned contract extension negotiations.
The striker has struggled badly in the centre-forward role, first replacing Gonzalo Higuain and then injured Arkadiusz Milik.
It seems recent performances have convinced Coach Maurizio Sarri that Gabbiadini is simply not suited to the 4-3-3 system.
According to Mediaset Premium, the clearest indication yet of an exit strategy is news that contract renewal negotiations have been terminated.

The talks had been going on for many weeks and a signature seemed very likely at the end of last season.
He was expected to double his current wages and sign on until June 2021.
Instead, his current deal is due to expire in June 2019 and a January sale is entirely possible.
Napoli hope to use that cash to bring in a centre-forward with different characteristics.
