Napoli star wanted by Chelsea and Arsenal set for new contract

26 ago 2018

Over the summer, Chelsea and their newly appointed manager Maurizio Sarri wanted to bring Napoli’s Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski. Sarri already brought Jorginho with him from Naples; after leaving Napoli to become the head coach at Chelsea.

Zielinski was not only a target of Chelsea but Arsenal and Liverpool were also reportedly interested in signing the 24-year-old. According to what has been reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, Napoli are now set to renew Zielinski’s contract with the club; tying him to the side until 2023.

Furthermore, as per reports from Rai Sport, the new contract will include a 100 million euro release clause; likely to discourage interest from the Premier League – or, alternatively, to help the club make money off the star if there is enough interest.

Zielinski signed for Napoli from Udinese in 2016, for a fee of around €14 million; whilst the midfielder also has 36 caps for the Polish national team, making his debut in 2013.
