According to Football Italia (via Corriere dello Sport)
, “Napoli have reportedly agreed terms with Sampdoria’s Lucas Torreira but must now decide whether to pay his €25m release clause. According to Corriere dello Sport, Torreira has accepted Napoli’s offer of a five-year contract worth €1.5m a season. It would now be left to the two clubs to agree a fee, although the midfielder’s €25m release clause gives Samp some leverage.”
A move away from Sampdoria will not be only the best move for Lucas Torreira, but also for the club.
