Matt O'Riley Napoli transfer bid as Brighton talks underway
O'Riley has only spent one season with the Seagulls following his £30million switch from the Hoops last summer but it is thought he could be on the move again. AS Roma were yesterday credited with an interest while Atalanta and Atletico Madrid both made offers while he was still a Celtic player. It was claimed last month that O'Riley was attracting further interest from around Europe's top leagues. Now, Sky Sports News are reporting Napoli have submitted £25.6 million for the 24-year-old. Talks are set to be ongoing between the two clubs as the Premier League side negotiate for the sort of package they would be looking for. O'Riley is understood to be seen to have a future at Brighton but they're also open to selling if their valuation is met. Read more: If the Serie A champions are successful in their attempts to sign him, they would team him up with Scotland international midfielders Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour as well as former Manchester City superstar Kevin de Bruyne. O'Riley recently revealed his frustrations at not being used in his favoured number 8 role by manager Fabian Hurzeler. He said: 'I'm best at the number 8 position, where I can go box to box. I've only played two games there, otherwise I've been used as a winger, false number 9 or something else. 'It makes it difficult to show off when you play a position you're not completely happy with. 'I'm just giving my opinion. I can play better for the team if I play the number 8 position, but I can play well in other positions."
