Nehuén Pérez, the Argentine centre-back, is on the verge of completing a transfer to Napoli from Udinese. The agreed deal is worth €16 million, with an additional €2 million in potential add-ons. However, the finalisation of the transfer is expected to be delayed, as Udinese are currently in the process of finding a suitable replacement for Pérez.
Udinese require Pérez’s services for their upcoming match against Atalanta, which has contributed to the slower timing of the deal. It is anticipated that the official signing of the contract could take place next week, once Udinese have secured a new player to fill the void left by Pérez’s departure.
