The agent of Bologna striker Musa Barrow has confirmed that Napoli have had a long-standing interest in his client. The Gambian winger made the switch to the Rossoblu in January 2020 and has gone on to feature prominently each season, scoring 26 goals in 100 appearances to date.
Speaking with Radio Punto Nuovo (as quoted by Calciomercato), agent Luigi Sorrentino discussed the future of his client, who he believes is ready for ‘bigger’ things, and explained why a move to Napoli would be a big step up for the young talent:
“Did Bologna do Napoli a favour by beating Inter? I wouldn’t say so, 18 or 15 points the talk was already ended beforehand! There is satisfaction on the part of Musa and his teammates for having played another great game, this time against a really strong team. Bologna now have what it takes to do well in the second half of the season.
“As said in the past, Napoli had been looking at him since before the arrival of Kvaratskhelia. Whether or not Musa’s name will now be of interest to the Azzurri again, I always hope so. We are talking about a club like Napoli, which today represent the top both in Italy and in Europe.
“They can even aim to win the Champions League. They are experiencing a moment of overflowing form, with Osimhen, Kvara and all their teammates on top. It is a dream for us to be able to imagine playing at Napoli one day. Then it’s clear, Musa is currently very happy at Bologna.
“We are always ready for the leap, but then you have to keep your promises when you arrive. The quality, for goodness sake, is there at Bologna, but we feel ready to fight for bigger goals.
“Afterwards, it’s normal, you have to work hard to keep your promises.”
