Napoli turn down Juve's Zungia offer

Napoli have turned down a €5.5m bid from Juventus for wing-back Juan Zuniga, according to reports.

ElMundoDeportivo.com.co have claimed that the Bianconeri submitted the offer earlier this week, but were quickly rebuffed by the Partenopei who want €10m for the Colombia international.

The 27-year-old has just a year left on his contract, and has so far been unwilling to extend with the San Paolo side.

Coach Rafael Benitez admitted earlier on Friday that Zuniga was ‘an important player’.

Benitez knows that decent fullbacks are hard to find. I don't blame him for holding on to Zuniga. They already downgraded with Higuain from Cavani. They can't afford to keep downgrading other positions while Fiorentina keeps getting better with each transfer.

Yeah but Zuniga doesn't want to remain in Napoli he didn't even sign with the fans and jump with them ( I posted the video here) ...

Doesn't mean Rafa won't keep him though


Then again I think both him and Maggio are going to be shaky as full backs.

They'll just do a 'Bilbao' by keeping him for another year before letting him go on a free.

Yeah today's report said that Marotta will get him in a Llorente type of deal
