As one of the few homegrown talents from the De Laurentiis era, Vergara has garnered interest from multiple clubs, particularly following his standout moment in the Champions League with an incredible goal against Chelsea during the final match of the group stage.
According to Corriere dello Sport, three Italian clubs, including Gasperini’s Roma, have shown preliminary interest in him.
Unfortunately, Antonio Vergara’s season with Napoli was cut short due to a muscle injury. Nevertheless, he managed to astonish even Conte with 3 goals and 4 assists over 926 minutes of playtime.
His performances have drawn the attention of clubs such as Como and Atalanta, both of which are reportedly willing to invest €25 million in the talented midfielder from Campania.

Roma is currently gathering information to explore potential negotiations with Napoli.
However, Napoli appears hesitant to part ways with Vergara, despite the interest from three clubs. More likely, they will aim for a contract renewal for the promising player who has developed through their youth academy.
