The midfielder is ready to undergo his medical tests with Cagliari over the next 48 hours, probably on Wednesday afternoon.

It is going to be a paid loan with option to buy for circa €8m, with Napoli accepting the terms of the formula.

The 27-year-old was part of the Italy squad at the EURO 2024 tournament and has two senior caps for the Azzurri.

A product of the Lazio youth academy, Folorunsho has been at Napoli since 2019, going on a series of loan spells to Bari, Reggina, Pordenone, Hellas Verona and in January 2025 to Fiorentina.

He has 54 Serie A appearances under his belt, scoring five goals and providing one assist.
