Napoli reject €30m offers for Vergara with Italian set to sign new deal

Napoli reject €30m offers for Vergara with Italian set to sign new deal Napoli have made it clear that Antonio Vergara is not for sale, rebuffing a series of approaches for the young midfielder as they move to secure his long-term future. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, via IlNapolista , the Partenopei have turned down offers from both Italian and foreign clubs, with talks over a new contract already under way. The bids, Di Marzio reports, had edged towards €30 million, but Napoli declined them outright without ever entertaining the idea of a sale. The playmaker had attracted admiring glances from across Serie A, Como initially saw him as a possible successor to Nico Paz, Atalanta registered their interest, and Roma were tempted by a reported €25m price tag, yet the club have chosen to build around him instead.

Vergara is already tied to Napoli on a long deal worth around €400,000, and the renewal would bump his salary towards the €1m mark plus bonuses, underlining his importance to the project. The decision to hold firm is tied directly to the man in the dugout. Under new head coach Massimiliano Allegri, Vergara is regarded as ready for the step up to the senior side, with the coach reportedly envisaging a new role for him, possibly as a central midfielder.
