Serie A side Napoli are expected to permanently buy loan player Philip Billing from Premier League outfits Bournemouth.
**Valter De Maggio** of **Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli** has [announced](https://www.calcionapoli24.it/esclusive/immobile-a-cn24-voglio-dire-una-cosa-a-conte-scudetto-spero-finisca-n640159.html) (via **Calcio Napoli 24**) that the Neapolitans have decided to activate the right-to-purchase option for Philip Billing, who arrived on loan from Bournemouth last summer.
Napoli will be liable to pay a transfer fee of around €9 million as per the agreement for the Danish midfielder. The deal is set to be closed down within a few weeks following the season’s end.
Billing has featured in only three Serie A matches this campaign but he has impressed manager Antonio Conte and the Napoli hierarchy. The 28-year-old became a fan favourite after scoring a late equaliser against Inter recently and is now expected to stay for a significant amount of time at the club.
Apart from signing Billing, Napoli are working on landing potential targets but they will focus on the market after this season.
