Napoli are on the hunt for a new midfielder and are being linked with a move for RB Salzburg midfielder Maurits Kjaergaard. The Partenopei have had a muddled start to the season and have lacked dynamism in the centre of the pitch. New signing Jens-Lys Cajuste has struggled to adapt to Serie A thus far, while Frank Anguissa has been injured and is set to depart for the AFCON in the coming weeks.
Tuttomercatoweb report that Kjaergaard has emerged as a potential target for Napoli after breaking into the Salzburg first team in 2021. The price tag is expected to be around €15 million, which is suggested to be within Napoli’s range for a new midfield signing.
The 20-year-old is currently sidelined through injury, but has already scored two goals and provided 5 assists in 15 appearances across all competitions so far this season.
