Ismajli leaving Serie A? Renowned club prepares offer

The future of national team defender Ardian Ismajli remains unclear. With his contract with Empoli expiring at the end of this season, interest in the 28-year-old has increased significantly, with major clubs seeking his services.

Recently, Galatasaray, the big Turkish club, has also entered the race for him, wanting to strengthen the defense department before the transfer window closes on February 11. This interest has created concern for Napoli, who have been following the Albanian defender for months and have as their objective to transfer him with zero parameters in the summer. But if the Turks make an irresistible offer, then the plans could change for Ismajli.

According to Turkish media outlet Telegraf, Galatasaray have been following Ismail's performances for a long time and see him as an important reinforcement in defense. The Istanbul club is preparing a concrete offer to acquire him in this winter market, taking advantage of the fact that Empoli may accept an immediate sale to avoid losing him for free in the summer.

The need for a quality defender in the ranks of the Turkish champions is great, especially with Viktor Nelson expected to leave. Therefore, the approach of a player with Ismajli's experience is seen as the ideal option to fill the gap in the defensive department.

Meanwhile, Napoli's interest in the Albanian defender is not new. Conte's side have been monitoring Ismajli for a long time and see him as an important investment for next season.

The Neapolitans have praised his performance at Empoli, where he has played 23 games in Serie A this season, with a total of 1970 minutes. In addition to his defensive consistency, he has also shown good skills in the aerial game and the organization of the defensive phase.

In Napoli's plans, Ismajli would come as a free agent in the summer, but a strong offer from the Turks could now disrupt their plans.

The player is aware of the situation and is considering offers. Many other Albanian national team players are also active in Turkey, such as Ernest Muçi, Rey Manaj, Arlind Ajeti, Taulant Seferi and Valon Ethemi.
