Napoli eye up Alisson Santos, Sporting have already made their decision | OneFootball

Napoli aims to secure the signing of Alisson Santos and is already in negotiations with Sporting for this purpose, reported Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio on Monday. According to the same source, the option on the table is a loan of the 23-year-old winger until the end of the season.

As revealed at the beginning of the month, the Lions are open to the player's departure in this transfer window, since, after the arrivals of Luís Guilherme from West Ham and Souleymane Faye, formerly of Granada, Alisson's space in Rui Borges' options will be more limited.

The loan presents an opportunity to showcase his skills elsewhere, with the goal of gaining competitive rhythm and trying to secure a spot in the squad next season, or even to impress in Italy, playing for Napoli.

After a brilliant start, the forward's performance gradually declined. The loss of momentum is evident, as the last goal scored by the Lions was on October 22. That solitary goal came in the European clash against Marseille, in a 2-1 victory in the Champions League.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Alisson – valued at 4 million euros – played 29 games: 17 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, and two in the League Cup. In the 663 minutes he was on the field, the forward scored two goals and provided two assists.
