Everything indicates that Duván Zapata will not continue at Napoli.
With the opening of the transfer market in Europe, the possibility of a club change for the Colombian forward arose.
The first to inquire about him was Real Betis from Spain, who began studying the negotiation at the end of last month as they are looking for a forward to compete with Rubén Castro.
This week, two interested parties appeared in Italy: Sampdoria and Sassuolo.
"Duván is a great forward. I am interested," said Massimo Ferrero, the president of Sampdoria, where Luis Fernando Muriel plays, in an Italian radio interview.
Regarding Sassuolo, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that "in the last few hours, they have become the most dangerous competitor in the race for the Colombian" and that they are working on "reaching a preliminary agreement with the player".
In any case, Napoli's decision is to loan Zapata without a buyout option so that he can get more playing time and return to the team next season.
