There are more and more reports in the Italian media that Dries Mertens wants to leave Napoli and move to Manchester United. The Belgian forward has already spoken on the phone with representatives of the "Red Devils," as reported by both "Mediaset Premium" and "La Repubblica."
This year, the sharpshooter in the attack had negotiations with the Southern Italian club for a new contract, but he was not impressed even by the offered double salary.
Remaining in Naples longer than until 2018, when the current contract expires, the 29-year-old player would earn €3 million per season. However, it is believed that "Man United" could offer him a higher salary.
According to "Mediaset," the probability that Mertens will leave his current club is 80-90 percent.
Having already turned thirty in May, the striker hopes to get as much as possible out of his career peak.
His statistics this season are truly impressive - in 36 appearances in all tournaments, he has scored 25 goals and provided 11 assists. The portal Transfermarkt.com values the Belgian national team member at €25 million.
