Lille 'to take Ounas from Napoli on loan for €5m with option to buy for €35m'

Lille are currently in negotiations to take Adam Ounas from Napoli on loan for €5m with option to buy for another €35m, claim Italian reports.

According to CalcioNapoli24, intermediaries representing the Ligue 1 club are in talks with the Napoli directors ahead of tonight’s friendly against Olympique Marseille.

The offer on the table is a loan at €5m with option to buy at the end of the season for a further €35m.

Napoli would prefer to sell outright, but this is already a more impressive proposition than the one put forward by Cagliari.

Ounas impressed for Algeria in the Africa Cup of Nations and Lille had wanted him as part of Napoli’s bid for Nicolas Pepe, but Arsenal paid significantly higher wages and commission for the player.
