Barcelona midfielder attracting interest from Serie A giants - Reports
Serie A giants Napoli are reportedly eyeing a summer move for 19-year-old Barcelona midfielder Toni Caravaca.
Football agent Giovanni De Montis confirmed to Calciomercato that the Spanish youngster is attracting interest from Napoli, who are looking to secure him on a free transfer ahead of the 2023/24 season.
De Montis revealed that Caravaca had received offers from Serie A clubs in the January transfer window, but Barcelona refused to let him leave. The midfielder's contract expires at the end of the ongoing season, making him an attractive target for Napoli and other clubs.
Caravaca is a highly regarded prospect who has risen through Barcelona's youth division ranks, playing for the Juvenil A team. He has made three appearances in the UEFA Youth League this season, showcasing his talent and potential.
Napoli, who are currently leading the Serie A table, are looking to build a strong squad for the future and see Caravaca as a long-term solution alongside Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa. I Partenopei need to ensure continuity and have world-class prospects in their setup to continue their success.
Caravaca is not the only Barcelona prospect who could be leaving the club this summer, as reports suggest that Ilias Akhomach is closing in on a move to Leeds United.
As Napoli look to embark on a successful run of winning trophies, adding Caravaca could be a major boost to their chances. The 19-year-old has the potential to develop into a top-level midfielder and could be a key player for Napoli in the coming seasons.
It remains to be seen if Xavi will allow Caravaca to leave on a free transfer or if they will try to negotiate a new contract to keep him at the club. However, if the Spanish giants fail to extend his contract, Napoli could be the club to benefit from the young midfielder's potential.
