Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has confirmed that the Serie A side are in talks with Arsenal over a deal to sign David Ospina.
Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, as cited on Sky Sports, de Laurentiis revealed that Carlo Ancelotti’s men are in the market for a new goalkeeper, with as many as four shortlisted by the club.
Ospina, along with Liverpool’s Simon Mignolet, Guillermo Ochoa and Ciprian Tatarusanu are all believed to be targets for the Italian club.
There are four in contention: Ochoa, Mignolet, Ospina and Tatarusanu. It is true that Ospina could arrive, we are negotiating, there are still some differences on the requests.
The Colombian has been widely expected to leave the club this summer after falling to third in the pecking order at Arsenal.
The arrival of Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen means that the German will battle it out with Petr Cech for the number one spot in London.
Whoever fails to cement themselves is likely to get their game time in cup competitions, leaving no room for Ospina at the Emirates.
