Meanwhile, Salernitana are looking to sign Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi in a last-minute bid to boost their attack once Simy’s exit has been confirmed.
The Campania side have been looking for a new striker to reinforce Davide Nicola’s squad for a few weeks now and have turned their attention to the 28-year-old Batshuayi, who returned to West London last month after a year-long loan spell with Besiktas, where he scored 14 goals in 33 games.
The Belgian striker’s current deal expires in 2023, but there’s an option for the club to extend it for another year, allowing them to carry out a loan deal. The 28-year-old is now considering the move, open to another adventure abroad.
