After having made him debut in Napoli senior team, Italian giants manager Maurizio Sarri, according to local paper Il Mattino, told the club brass not to loan Croatian international midfielder Marko Rog (21) out in January, since he wants to keep track of his steps forward in person. Several Italian and foreign clubs are however keen on the 1995-born, whom Napoli will buy back from Dinamo Zagreb next June, on a 13 million euros payment.
Playing for Sporting Braga since 2014/15, Brazilian right-back Marcelo Goiano (30) had his deal with Portuguese club officially extended until June 2021. Former Feirense player is Braga team captain.
