David Ospina Hints Napoli Don't Want Him on Permanent Deal, Talks Arsenal Exit

David Ospina has hinted Napoli are trying to avoid triggering a mandatory clause that would make his loan deal from Arsenal a permanent transfer.

The Colombian has fallen behind star prospect Alex Meret in the Napoli pecking order and told Radio Blu (h/t Football Italia) he's not surprised Napoli have made the switch to the youngster:

"I knew this might happen. My current situation is that I am on loan for this season and there's a clause based on the number of games, so if I play regularly, it'll become an automatic purchase.
