Juventus are set to offer Napoli full ownership of Marcelo Zalayeta in exchange for midfield starlet Marek Hamsik. The Bianconeri have been linked with a move for the Slovakian for a number of weeks now and see him as the ideal man to supply a bit of extra spark to their midfield.
According to Tuttosport Juve will offer Napoli full rights to Marcelo Zalayeta, who is currently on loan with the Partenopei, in exchange for Hamsik.
Napoli currently have a £7m option to make Zalayeta’s deal permanent at the end of the season. The 29-year-old has been in outstanding form and has scored seven times already in Serie A.
Hamsik, who only signed from Brescia in the summer, has also underlined why he is seen as one of the most promising youngsters in Europe with a string of mesmerising displays.
A few weeks ago Napoli sporting director Pasquale Marino insisted that Hamsik was going nowhere.
“Nobody is touching Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi or Walter Gargano,” he stated.
“Co-ownership deals will be resolved in June and we hope that our lads will grow here and after five years will renew and continue to grow.”
Meanwhile Juve have also started negotiations with Genoa for their outstandingly-named midfielder Ray Garibaldi.
Garibaldi is the current Italy Under-19 captain and is said to have an exceptional future in the game. Matteo Paro is likely to move permanently the other way as part of the deal.
