The love story between Dries Mertens and Napoli seemed to have reached its final chapter . Many benches and a few goals in the first half of the season by the Belgian, who with the choice of Carlo Ancelotti to set aside the sarriano 4-3-3 to pay for the 4-4-2 paid the excellent start by Insigne and Milik. A return to the field, while outside the green rectangle appreciations continued to arrive from the Chinese Super League, without the club of President De Laurentiis showing the intention to renew that contract expiring 2020.
NOW THE RENEWAL – The return group , however, has marked a real reversal for the Ciro , as everyone now calls it in Napoli. Complicit in the problems, physical and environmental, of Insigne, Mertens managed to find that continuity that he had lacked before. And, with continuity, goals have also returned: six have been scored in the last eight appearances. Numbers that convinced Ancelotti and the company to focus on the Belgian goblin also for the future, so much so – as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport – after the last of the championship, against Bologna, Mertens you will see with the blue ds Cristiano Giuntoli, ready to renew him in contract with an engagement of 4.5 million euro .
ASSAULT AD HAMSIK – An extension that will give Mertens the chance to enter even more into the history of Napoli. For now the class of ’87 has reached 107 goals among all the competitions with the blue shirt. In the event of a goal tonight, against Inter, he would be on the markers podium, reaching 108 Attila Sallustro and in front of him would find only Maradona (115) and Hamsik (123) , with the perspective to surpass even his former captain and former partner next year.
