Napoli and Chievo have reached an agreement for Italian goalkeeper Marco Silvestri.
The Naples club will purchase half of his contract for €2.5 million with an agreement that the 22-year-old will remain at Padova where he was on loan last season.
However, Sky Sports Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio stated that it did not guarantee the arrival of Rafael in return.
“Napoli has reached an agreement with Chievo. € 2.5 million for half, and then should go play at Padova, where he was stationed this season.” Di Marzio Told Sky Sports Italia.
“Its conclusion, however, does not preclude the arrival of Rafael, just because Silvestri will be sent to play.”
