Napoli back in for De Ceglie
Ambitious Napoli have still not given up hope of signing Juventus defender Paolo De Ceglie.
The Azzurri have spent the last few months looking for a new left-back and did fail in an earlier attempt this summer to land the former Under-21 international.
However, stories emanating from the port city are claiming that Pierpaolo Marino is still in the hunt for the ex-Siena man.
Marino, one of the country’s top sporting directors, is understood to be preparing another bid for the adventurous full-back.
However, Juventus are only likely to sell should they sign a left-back of their own before the window shuts at the end of this month.
Lyon’s Fabio Grosso was strongly associated before Juventus insisted that their spending had ended with the loan arrival of Martin Caceres from Barcelona.
De Ceglie started in last night’s San Siro showdown against Milan, but was replaced at half-time by Cristian Molinaro.
