Napoli join Manchester United and Bayern Munich in race for Parma goalkeeper Suzuki | OneFootball

Zion Suzuki has emerged as one of the most sought-after goalkeepers in European football following an impressive season at Parma, with Napoli, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Galatasaray all understood to be monitoring the Japanese international.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via TuttoMercatoWeb, Napoli are the most concrete Italian suitor, while the interest from United and Bayern underlines the scale of attention Suzuki has attracted after playing a key role in Parma’s comfortable Serie A survival under Carlos Cuesta.

The 23-year-old was not included in the starting lineup for Sunday’s final day fixture against Sassuolo.

Parma determined not to sell Suzuki cheaply as Napoli join list of suitors

No formal negotiations are underway and no decisions have been made, but the sense within the club is that Suzuki’s future could well lie away from the Tardini.

Parma owner Kyle Krause is aware of the player’s value and has no intention of allowing a cut-price exit.

It has not been a straightforward season for Suzuki, who went through a difficult period earlier in the campaign dealing with injury and inconsistent form.

His recovery in the second half of the season, including a remarkable performance saving four penalties in a single match, is what reignited interest from clubs across Europe and drew widespread attention to his abilities.

For Napoli, Suzuki would represent a long-term option in goal as the club begins planning for life after the current goalkeeping setup.
