A report by Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Napoli's acquisition of Neheun Perez from Udinese is almost finished, as the two teams are now finalising the agreement. After a few more details are worked out, the formal announcement should come in the next few hours.
A set portion of €16 million and bonuses of €2 million will be paid by the Partenopei in addition to a €18 million transfer fee. Because Atletico Madrid was the player's previous team, they will own 50% of the player's potential selling value. The centre defender's four-and-a-half-year contract with Napoli will pay him €1.6 million a season. After acquiring Hamad Traore, Pasquale Mazzocchi, Cyril Ngonge, and Leander Dendocker during the transfer window, this will be the current Scudetto champions' fifth signing of the window (formal announcement still to arrive).
