Napoli Could Offer Barcelona Midfielder Chance at Regular Football With January Bid

Related Topics: Catalonia, Napoli

Napoli are planning a January move for Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez, according to reports.

The 23-year-old, a former youth product of Manchester City, joined the Catalans in 2016 as a promising young star from Villarreal, but has started only twice in La Liga this season and doesn't appear to be a favourite of manager Ernesto Valverde.

The former Bilbao manager appears to be considering something of a mid season clear out of squad players, with Arda Turan, Aleix Vidal and Thomas Vermaelen all seemingly bound for the exit.

Napoli have made an outstanding start to the Serie A season, winning 10 of their opening 12 games and remain unbeaten as they sit a point clear of Juventus.
