The club instead offered him a three-year contract worth 3.5 million. In the next few days the situation will be evaluated and whether it will be appropriate to continue the negotiations.
Mario Hermoso has been on Napoli’s list for several weeks; the former Atletico Madrid defender is now a free agent and could represent a bargain also in the future, considering that the Neapolitan club could make a capital gain on him.
Hermoso-Napoli, there is optimism but the defender asks for 5 million for three years
As reported by Allmarketwebthere is optimism for the negotiation, but still distance for the economic requests:
There is quite a distance between the offer – a three-year contract worth 3.5 million – and the request, given that Hermoso wants to capitalize on his status, asking for 5 million per year for 3 seasons. A stalemate situation, therefore, that will be smoothed out, possibly, in the coming days. The intention to play in Serie A is there, as is Napoli’s optimism to close the deal. However, the distance is still there and it will not be easy to understand who will try to abdicate from their position. Hermoso has a value of around 25 million euros and could therefore be a capital gain. The problem is not the commissions for the agents, but rather the gap between the player’s request and Napoli itself, which is however determined to strike in the next few days.
Besiktas also on the former Atletico Madrid player
According to the portal Haberturk:
Mario Hermoso is a name they have been chasing for a long time. Negotiations are underway with the 29-year-old footballer, who has officially left Atletico Madrid. In addition to Besiktas, there is also Napoli; the defender is expected to make his final decision this week. The Turkish club has offered him a 3-year contract.
