Napoli will exchange contracts with Bournemouth on Friday for Philip Billing, on loan with option to buy for €9m, letting Michael Folorunsho join Fiorentina.
Multiple sources including Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and more are all confident the clubs have agreed all the details for Billing.
The paperwork can be signed tomorrow, then it remains to be seen if Bournemouth will release him for the medical tests before or after the weekend.
Italy international Michael Folorunsho poses for photo alongside Partenopei President Aurelio De Laurentiis after signing new Napoli contract until 2029.
It is going to be a six-month loan with Napoli paying the full salary, then an option to buy at the end of the season for €9-10m in total.
This will also allow the Partenopei to release Folorunsho for Fiorentina.
That too is a loan with option to buy in June 2025 for a fee of circa €8m.
Folorunsho was in the Italy squad at EURO 2024 thanks to his performances at Verona last season, but played only 31 minutes of football for the Partenopei this term.
