Romano Zeballos-Napoli link fuels Parma interest for January

Fabrizio Romano the prospective Exequiel Zeballos‑Napoli deal remains on the table for a January move, while Serie A side Parma have also entered the race, leaving the Argentine to decide whether to wait or join a new club now.

Napoli had initially agreed terms with the player, but the club reversed course, citing difficulties in registering new signings this window because of an overcrowded squad.

The Boca Juniors side, from which Zeballos is set to leave, is demanding a high fee, a point Napoli consider excessive given his contract expires in December.
