Napoli boss not keen on Mexican
Calciomercato this week reported that the 28-year-old forward isn’t in new Napolo head coach Rudi García’s plans.
Per the media outlet, the Partenopei would be willing to sell the player for a fee of around €15m - significantly less than the €45m they paid PSV for his services in 2019.
Napoli’s willingness to accept a cut-price sale is influenced by the fact that Lozano only has a year left on his contract at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
