Napoli is working towards renewing the contracts of Ghoulam, Insigne and Mertens. With regards to Ghoulam, both parties are still far from reaching an agreement, and there have not been any indications that they could soon come closer to an agreement. This week there could also be an encounter with the agent of Insigne. The latest request from the attacker is a yearly contract worth 4.5 million. However, Napoli sees this as too high a demand despite placing great value on the attacker.
Discussions regarding a potential renewal for Dries Mertens are at an advanced stage. All of the documentation for the player's renewal is currently being held by the player's legal team; Napoli is confident that the negotiations will have a positive ending, but do have some worry that Mertens' recent performances and many goals could cause him to request more money. In fact, the Belgian's entourage is beginning to indicate that any renewal is in standby, and that it could take more time than previously thought. For this reason, optimism surrounding his renewal is beginning to diminish.
