Interested Spanish Clubs Eye Vidal as Potential Target for Napoli

Napoli and Valencia are reportedly leading the chase for the signature of Spanish winger Aleix Vidal, who is expressing a desire to leave his current club, Barcelona.

According to reports in 'Mundo Deportivo', Napoli is seeking a replacement for Elseid Hysaj and Fauzi Ghoulam, who will be absent in January due to their participation in the Africa Cup of Nations. The club's sporting director, Pietro Colella, has confirmed Napoli's interest in Vidal.

Vidal, who can play on both sides of the field, is considered a suitable candidate for Napoli. His limited playing time at Barcelona has made other clubs more attractive to him, and his dissatisfaction with his current situation at the club could lead to a transfer.

Valencia, under the management of new coach Cesare Prandelli, is also interested in signing Vidal. Prandelli previously coached Vidal at Valencia before the player moved to Sevilla. Vidal spent a season at Valencia before joining the Spanish giants.

Inter, Milan, and Granada are also reportedly vying for Vidal's signature, but there are no search results indicating which of these teams, apart from Valencia and Napoli, are seriously pursuing the winger.

Barcelona is open to negotiating a transfer for Vidal, making a move possible in the upcoming transfer window. Vidal's ability to provide cover on both wings could make him an attractive addition to any team looking for a versatile winger.

The race for Aleix Vidal's signature is heating up, and it will be interesting to see where the winger ends up in the coming weeks.
