Manchester United transfer blow as Napoli get ready to offer target a new contract

Manchester United look set to miss out on one of their defensive targets as Napoli get ready to open contract talks with Elseid Hysaj, according to his agent. Speaking at the Italian Sports Awards, Mario Giuffredi said: “We’ve been talking to Napoli for some time. “In the next few weeks, I’ll meet the President to understand if there are the conditions for a renewal. He has only two and a half years left on his contract.” The 24-year-old has emerged as one of Serie A’s best full-backs since arriving from Empoli back in 2015.
