Dries Mertens 'set to sign new Napoli contract until 2022' in huge blow for both Chelsea and Inter Milan

Dries Mertens is reportedly ready to sign a new contract with Napoli despite interest from Chelsea and Inter Milan.

The 33-year-old forward had been expected to leave the Serie A side on a free transfer at the end of the season.

However, Mertens and his club are in ‘total agreement’ over a new deal which will keep him at the club until 2022 according to Sky Sport Italia.

The Belgian is expected to receive €4million in each of the next two seasons at the San Paolo, as well as €2.
