Despite the offer from Borussia Dortmund and a contract set to expire in June 2020, Dries Mertens still hopes to sign a contract extension with Napoli and continue his career at the Italian club.
For their part, Napoli have made an offer to the Belgian striker days for a new 2-year deal with a salary of €4 million per season (after taxes) and a sign-on bonus. At the moment, however, the club and the player have not reached an agreement on the amount of the sign-on bonus, as the Belgian would like a significantly higher sum than the one offered by the partenopei.
