Simone Verdi's agent denies Torino agreement
Simone Verdi struggled to earn game under Carlo Ancelotti, managing to start just 9 league games. The Italian player was successful at Bologna and managed to amass 34 starts in the 2017/18 season. However, his future has been uncertain after Napoli bought him for €25 million in 2018.
Fellow Serie A club Torino have been heavily linked with the 27-year-old and are said to be willing to pay €20 million. However, Verdi's agent Donato Orgnoni revealed that there is no agreement or a meeting with Torino. Orgoni also stated that he is uncertain whether Verdi will remain at Napoli.
“There is no agreement with Torino and no meetings planned with the Granata directors,” the agent said.
“We are just waiting for news from Napoli. There’s no guarantee he is staying with Napoli, but we don’t know if he’s leaving either.
“It has been a good pre-season for Simone, as he is working hard, training with intensity and his performances in the friendlies reflected that.
