Striker Napoli Dris Mertens demands a salary increase.
Negotiations on a new contract between Napoli and Dries Mertens are moving with great difficulty.
The current agreement of the Belgian with Napoli is valid until June 30, 2020, but the club's management is concerned about "clausula" for the goal-playing clubs, which is only 28 million euros. Therefore, the "parthenopes" want, by extending the contract for a year or two, to significantly increase the amount of compensation or even remove this item from the contract.
Mertens, in principle, does not mind, but requires a significant increase in wages, which at the moment is 3.5 million euros.
