Napoli already have the deal with Girona for Miguel Gutierrez, while Juanlu Sanchez rejected all other offers waiting for them, but Udinese improved their Walid Cheddira bid.
The Partenopei will continue to be very active in these final two weeks of the transfer session and the priority remains reinforcing the flanks.
We had already explained that the agreement was struck with Girona on Tuesday for Gutierrez, but the club decided to let the week go by before having him undergo the medical tests.
An important development is that Napoli won the battle to avoid getting a release clause included into the Gutierrez contract.
Gutierrez and Juanlu ready for Napoli
The situation with Juanlu Sanchez remains the same, specifically that Napoli are getting ready to make the final push from Monday with Sevilla.
The full-back is playing his part by turning down any other proposals put forward by his club, because he has his heart set on the Partenopei.
Napoli are also working to whittle down their squad, as Cheddira is heading towards Udinese after all.
As we had written, Cremonese suddenly came in with an offer to buy him outright rather than on loan with an option to buy.
However, Udinese responded by improving their previous bid, getting them over the edge thanks to the paid loan portion of the agreement.
