As reported earlier, 27 year old wingback Juan Camilo Zuniga has extended his contract with Napoli, and will earn 3,5 million euros per season: president De Laurentiis has declared that the player will stay for 5 more years, but it seems difficult that the Colombia international will remain in Naples: added to the new contract there is in fact a 30 million euros termination clause, and this means that other Italian clubs, like Juventus, will have to renounce to the former Siena player; on the contrary Barcelona remains a concrete option for Zuniga, also considering the fact that the azzurri, who are seeking a midfielder, could accept a swap involving 29 year old Javier Mascherano. Still regarding the midfield, Napoli, according to the French press, are keen on Lyon 24 year old Maxime Gonalons, already tracked during the last transfer window, while for what concerns the defense, Napoli, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, could have a new chance for Liverpool 28 year old Martin Skrtel.

The situation of 21 year old forward Stephan El Shaarawy at AC Milan remains difficult : the player had not been avoked for the Champions League game against Ajax by his coach Massimiliano Allegri, who has finally changed his mind, but the Italy international has suffered a fracture to his foor. According to Tuttosport, the player will be yielded in the next transfer window.
