Zuniga in Napoli's sights
Friday 19 June, 2009

Napoli director of sport Pierpaolo Marino was apparently in Siena last night to discuss the availability of Juan Zuniga.

The 23-year-old Colombia international was a revelation last season and has been linked with a move to Milan.

Officially, Marino was in Siena to discuss Emanuele Calaiò, the 27-year-old striker who is part-owned by Napoli.

However, Il Corriere dello Sport believe Zuniga was the main subject up for debate.

The Partenopei have embarked on an ambitious summer of spending.

Fabio Quagliarella and Luca Cigarini have already arrived at San Paolo and Hugo Campagnaro is set to follow.

Zuniga is under consideration because he can play either at right-back in a four man defence or on the flank in a five man midfield.

Napoli played a 3-5-2 system last year and while Roberto Donadoni is expected to change things, Zuniga would fit into his side with ease.
