Napoli’s Hirving Lozano close to LAFC move

Napoli winger Hirving Lozano is edging close to moving to MLS outfit LAFC, with the player destined to depart.

La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that Lozano is now all ready to bid farewell to the Scudetto champions and head to the USA, where a three-year deal worth €5.5 million awaits him at LAFC.

Yesterday evening the agents of the Mexican star arrived at Castel di Sangro to bring the official offer of the MLS club, where Giorgio Chiellini and the other Mexican star Carlos Vela play. The offer on the table is €15 million, Napoli would like €20 million. The negotiation can now begin. 

Lozano is one of the highest earners in the Napoli side and that is the key reason for why is leaving and the decision was made sometime ago. He is considered to be at the sidelines of the club’s new project but Napoli would have to reduce their asking price for the deal to go through.
