Hirving Lozano risks being frozen out by Napoli, if he hasn’t already, as he keeps refusing to prolong his expiring contract. It wouldn’t be the first time the Partenopei resort to such a tactic even with a regular contributor, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs (via Tag24).
The Mexican winger missed their latest friendly against SPAL, supposedly because he’s completing his rehab from a late-season knee injury. However, he was spotted taking part in intrasquad scrimmages in the days leading up to the match.
Lozano and his camp have struggled to find suitors and bring offers to Napoli so far. His agents are currently testing the waters in the MLS. Los Angeles Galaxy could lodge a bid to lure him away. Instead, they haven’t engaged in the extension talks.
President Aurelio De Laurentiis has been very stern in his recent statements on the matter. He appears to have broken through in Piotr Zielinski’s case. The midfielder is expected to stay put and lower his wages.
Instead, there’s been no inkling about that concerning Lozano. The Partenopei already excluded Fabian Ruiz and Arkadiusz Milik from their technical plans in similar situations in the past. The Spaniard eventually departed before the end of the window. Instead, the marksman sat on the stands for four months before joining Olympique Marseille.
