EXCLUSIVE ROMANO: Juve, Empoli raise the bar for Saponara, Napoli in pole for Lapadula
The bianconeri also face difficulties trying to land Pescara striker Lapadula with Napoli stealing a march on them for the 26-year-old. The vesuviani have offered the player a starring role in the team next season both domestically and in the Champions League. The future of Sampdoria midfielder Soriano also remains unclear. Inter were all set to take the Italian international in the summer but Samp's asking price of €13.5 million is far greater than the nerazzurri wants to pay.
