Mertens has a family situation - De Laurentiis hints at Napoli exit

The Belgium international is yet to sign a new contract with the Serie A side and the president admits a move away is a possibility.

Dries Mertens could leave Napoli due to a family situation, according to club president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Manchester United and Tottenham are among the clubs reported to be monitoring Mertens' situation with a view to making an offer for the in-form attacker at the end of the season.

Mertens has plundered 21 goals for Napoli in Serie A this season, thriving in a central role following the sale of Gonzalo Higuain to Juventus for an Italian transfer record, but his four-year spell at the club may be coming to an end.
