Napoli do not wish to involve themselves in an auction in the Lazar Samardzic saga and have put forward a take it or leave it offer for the Serbian midfielder.
Juventus have now also firmly joined the race for the Udinese midfielder and Il Mattino today have reported about some details from Napoliโs front in the developing saga, which now also involves Roberto de Zerbiโs Brighton and Hove Albion.
While Juventus have pushed hard to beat Napoli, Brightonโs interest is currently only pushed by the playerโs agents and the interest from the Seagulls isnโt as genuine as the agents leak that it is. Samardzic will have to make a decision about his future in some days and it will be between Juve and Napoli.
Aurelio de Laurentiis doesnโt intend to be caught up in the competition and as a result, he has made a renewed salary offer for the 21-year-old. They have offered a salary in the upwards of โฌ2 million in the hope of receving Samardzicโs approval, with an agreement with Udinese already in place. This is Napoliโs last offer and they are ready to move on, if Juventus manage to seal the deal and if Hamed Traore arrives from Bournemouth, a move for Samardzic will be all but dead.
