Napoli continue to strengthen with Milinkovic-Savic signing
Napoli continue to spend in the transfer window after acquiring Vanja Milinkovic-Savic on a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
Napoli have completed the loan signing of goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic from Torino.
The Serie A champions will have an obligation to buy the 28-year-old at the end of his loan spell for a reported €21.5m.
Milinkovic-Savic reportedly had a €20m release clause in his contract, but Napoli have opted for a loan in order to spread out the payment over several instalments.
The Serbia international has played 144 Serie A matches during his time with Torino, keeping 44 clean sheets in that time and conceding 154 goals.
He will compete with Alex Meret for a starting position at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Milinkovic-Savic joins the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Noa Lang and Sam Beukema as summer signings as Antonio Conte looks to win back-to-back league titles in Naples.
The news of his arrival followed a 2-1 win for Napoli over Serie B side Catanzaro, where Lorenzo Lucca netted the winner with his first goal for the club. Giacomo Raspadori had given Napoli the lead shortly before.
