Napoli have agreed basic terms with Udinese for goalkeeper Alex Meret at a cost of €25m plus bonuses, claim Sportitalia.
The reports state that there was a meeting today between the two clubs, as the Partenopei were frightened by interest from Roma and Fiorentina.
It’s claimed the good rapport between the two clubs enabled negotiations and Udinese patron Gino Pozzo gave his word to Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis.
The goalkeeper is only 21 years old, but considered to be one of the heirs to Gigi Buffon for Italy.
