Napoli Eyeing Paul-José Mpoku Despite Recent Contract Extension with Standard Liège
Paul-José Mpoku’s impressive performances for Standard Liège in recent months have not gone unnoticed, with the talented Belgian-born midfielder attracting the attention of top European clubs, including Serie A side Napoli.
According to calcionapoli24, the Italian club, currently third in the league, has been closely monitoring the progress of Mpoku, who has been a standout performer in the Jupiler Pro League. The 23-year-old, who recently extended his contract with Standard, has continued to impress with his displays in midfield.
Despite his fresh contract, which ties him to the Belgian club for a longer period, Mpoku may still be open to a move to Italy. Reports suggest that the midfielder, who was born in Kinshasa, has a release clause in his contract that would allow him to leave for a fee of five million euros. This clause has sparked interest from Napoli, who are looking to bolster their squad with promising talents.
Mpoku, a Belgian international hopeful with Congolese roots, has been hailed as one of the brightest prospects in the Jupiler Pro League. Should Napoli decide to activate the release clause, Mpoku could be making the move to southern Italy, where the club is hoping to strengthen their midfield for future domestic and European campaigns.
