Napoli interested in signing Inter Milan striker Goran Pandev but salaries could hinder the move
Italian outfit, Napoli, are interested in signing Inter Milan striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Goran-Pandev-c15161, but the club president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has asked the Nerazzurri to help them out with half of the player’s wages.
Pandev has a contract with the former Italian Champions until June 2014 but he is looking to move to another club after finding limited first-team opportunities at San Siro. New club manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, is looking to
sign Genoa striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rodrigo-c31437 Palacio, in the summer transfer window. A move for Palacio will drop the Macedonian international further down in the pecking order of the strikers.
Serie A outfit, Genoa, are interested in signing the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 striker and reports in the Italian media suggest that Inter are willing to offer them the striker in a swap deal with Palacio.
On the other hand, Pandev has also been linked with a swap move with A.S http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mirko-Vucinic-c26024, who is looking to leave the Giallorossi in the summer transfer window.
Laurentiis is huge admirer of the striker and definitely wants to bring him at Napoli in the summer transfer window but his salaries are a big stumbling block in a deal.
Talking to the reporters Laurentiis said, "I really like Pandev and I think Mazzarri also likes him, but a move depends on Inter. They will have to pay us half of his wages."
The Azzurri are looking to strengthen their squad after a hugely successful 2010/11 season. Walter Mazzarri’s side booked their place in the group stages of UEFA Champions League after a long absence of 21 years.
However, the player’s agent revealed that despite http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003’s interest in the striker, he might remain at San Siro.
The agent told the reporters, "Napoli have asked me for Pandev and they like him, but he wants to confirm himself at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567."
Pandev joined the Nerazzurri in the January transfer window of 2009/10 season and played a huge role in guiding Inter to win the treble in the same season. The 27-year-old played a bench role for most of the 2010/11 season and
managed only 17 starts for the club.
