Napoli are on the verge of completing of signing a second attackers, as Alisson Santos is set to move to Naples. This is according to Nico Schira, as Napoli and Sporting CP have finally found an agreement for the deal. Napoli won’t be able to keep Santos indefinitely as the deal is a loan to buy.

The first six months of Santos’s time in Naples, will be a loan. Then at the end of this season Napoli will have the option to buy at the end of this season. If Napoli decide to buy the total package will be worth 18 million euros, to bring Santos in permanently, however this is likely as Santos has turned down other offers to move to Napoli.

Napoli and Santos have also come to agreement for a personal contract. This was done before Napoli and Sporting could agree terms on a deal worth 2031. A contract being signed before Napoli and Sporting could complete a deal, would suggest Napoli’s openness to trigger his buy-clause.
