The likelihood of Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret joining Inter Milan next summer has grown exponentially since the start of the season.
According to FCInterNews, there’s a significant gap between the Italian shot-stopper’s requests and Napoli’s offer.
Meret’s contract at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona runs out at the end of the season.
However, the 27-year-old has a household status in Naples.
Therefore, club president Aurelio De Laurentiis remains determined to hand the former Udinese star a new contract.
Unfortunately for Antonio Conte, extension talks have hit a standstill.
Meret insists on a three-year renewal, while the Partenopei are unwilling to go beyond two.
With negotiations between Napoli and their first-choice goalkeeper reaching an impasse, there’s hope for Inter.
Meanwhile, Beppe Marotta is lurking in the shadows.
The Italian ace could be Simone Inzaghi’s preferred option between the sticks next season.
Despite landing Josep Martinez last summer, the defending Serie A champions seek a more high-profile keeper.
Meret ticks all the boxes.
In addition to his blistering performances this season, he possesses a deep understanding of the high stakes in Serie A.
Indeed, he was in goal when Napoli ended their 33-year Scudetto drought two years ago.
