That would bring down the fixed fee and allow Napoli to break it up with some add-ons. A breakthrough could mean medical tests as early as next week. Sanchez turns 22 in August and is a product of the Sevilla youth academy, who this season scored five goals with five assists in 35 competitive games for the club. He has 12 caps for Spain at Under-21 level and can also play in a more advanced role down the right wing, giving him the kind of versatility appreciated by coach Antonio Conte.
