Following multiple reliable reports that Sporting have accepted a bid from Napoli for Alisson de Almeida Santos - discussions over personal terms are said to have begun as all parties look to finalise the move in the coming days. The midfielder is open to the move, and if talks proceed smoothly, the transfer could be confirmed in the coming days - which would see the buying team secure one of their top targets and put their rivals on notice. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Napoli are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. So far this season, Napoli are steady at both ends (1.41 goals scored per game, 0.91 goals conceded per game). The role for Alisson de Almeida Santos would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Speculation continues to connect Napoli with Radu Dragusin, Martin Terrier and Armand Lauriente while no fresh rumours surround Sporting. Want more transfer rumours like this?
