After a few weeks of radio silence, Napoli have circled back for Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, who has also been linked with a move to join Leeds United<\/a> this summer, Football Italia understands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Napoli have advantage over Leeds for Milinkovic-Savic<\/p>\n

Over the last few hours, Napoli<\/a> have attained more information surrounding Milinkovic-Savic\u2019s situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leeds are also still in the mix and continue to push for the Serbian\u2019s arrival, but the player himself would prefer to hold off and wait, as he prefers a move to Napoli and is confident that Antonio Conte\u2019s side will make a move before the end of the transfer window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, as things stand for Leeds United, Milinkovic-Savic is on hold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Partenopei, meanwhile, are on the verge of reaching a decision over the sale and payment terms for striker Victor Osimhem, who could bring in up to \u20ac75m for the Partenopei to reinvest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Milinkovic-Savic could be one of the players that Napoli invest in this summer, even if they already have a first-choice no.1 in Alex Meret, who has played in both of the last two Scudetto-winning seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meret is aware of the situation with Milinkovic-Savic, and it is understood that there is no problem from his camp. The two are expected to compete for starting opportunities at the Stadio Maradona.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Milinkovic-Savic is available for a fee of \u20ac19m for Serie A clubs this summer. <\/p>\n
