Transfer News: Napoli Want To Sign Arsenal Star Defender Sokratis
Napoli are interested in signing Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos, according to Sky in Italy.
The Serie A club are hoping to negotiate a move for the 32-year-old which would not involve a transfer fee.
The former Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan defender has entered the final year of his contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Napoli are in the market for a central defender after losing out to Arsenal in the race to sign Gabriel from Lille.
The Serie A side’s star defender Kalidou Koulibaly has also been a long-term target for Manchester City.
Arsenal may also be willing to let Sokratis leave the club following the arrival of William Saliba, who spent last season on loan at St Etienne following his £27m signing from the French club last summer.
Centre-back Pablo Mari also made his move permanent from Flamengo earlier this summer.
